Verdict

KISS WILL struggled in the Grade 1 Turners Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in March, but he was impressive in a maiden here and Perth listed event either side of that and this 5-y-o brings plenty of potential to the table now switched to fences. The form of Tareze's chase debut second at Limerick has been boosted since and she should give it a good shot, while Flicker of Hope also made a positive start in this sphere at Wexford and he is third choice ahead of Sandor Clegane.
