Dare It And Smile is going the right way and should make a bold bid here, especially with her yard in such good form, while Kristollini may not have been suited by the front running tactics employed at Kempton recently and looks capable of better. A runner-up over C&D last January, Belles Beau returns from a long lay-off so a chance is taken on the newcomer REFUSETOSURRENDER. Her dam was a multiple winner over today's trip including two Group 3 races and Richard Fahey's filly will not have to be anything special to take this on her debut.
