Teresita Alvarez had run two solid races here before stumbling and falling shortly after the start when not unfancied in a better contest than this at Kempton. If that hasn’t left its mark, Jeremy Noseda’s filly has decent claims in this. Wall Of Sapphire showed improved form on her handicap debut at Lingfield while War And Glory ran well at Southwell after winning over 7f here earlier in the month. Ned Mackay and Smoki Smoka may have more to offer now qualified for handicaps but Love Kisses has disappointed on the all-weather so far. FENJAL led until inside the final furlong over an extra furlong here last time. A winner earlier on Fibresand, Hugo Palmer’s grey gets headgear today and is well drawn to be prominent again in an open-looking contest.
