Cheek-pieces replace the visor on BREATHLESS KISS and, if they do the trick, she should go very close and indeed gets our vote. Kevin Ryan's filly is already a Polytrack winner having landed a Kempton handicap at the start of the year and in five starts hasn't been outside of the places on this surface. Her effectiveness on it was demonstrated once more last time when, despite a slow start, she stayed on to take a never-nearer second and we fancy her to go one better. Blinkers are back on Lutine Bell after she responded well to a visor at Ffos Las only to get outstayed over a mile, so with the drop in trip to suit she's considered a threat to our selection along with Sir Bruno. The last-named beat a subsequent winner over course and distance two starts back before struggling over nine furlongs and should go well while Blue Lyric, Kylladdie and the visored Eolith can't be ignored.
