Verdict

This looks tricky with top-weight Childesplay not having won for over two years though dropping back to her correct grade. Good Luck Charm is another on a long losing run and still looks high enough in the weights while Aqua Libre has only ever won on the all-weather. Tulip Dress ran a shocker here last time while Strictly Carter has only won at a lower level including Brighton last time. Robbie Roo Roo has been going well and is at the right end of the handicap but the vote goes to WHISPERED KISS, who looked quite progressive on the all-weather before pulling too hard and hanging badly on the bend at Windsor and being eased. Commanche was having his first start on Turf for a long time when a close fourth at Yarmouth and had been going really well on the all-weather previously.
