Verdict

Unsurprisingly claims can be made for many in a cracking mares' handicap and it may pay to side with KISSESFORKATIE. It's likely her first start for 12 months was needed at Lingfield in November, and having looked unlucky not to win off this mark on her second start last term, all looks set fair for a big run. Shirocco's Dream, last year's winner Emmpressive Lady and Fable head up the dangers.

  1. KISSESFORKATIE (IRE)
  2. SHIROCCO'S DREAM (IRE)
  3. EMMPRESSIVE LADY (IRE)
