Verdict

In an ultra-competitive handicap, it could pay to side with KIMY who finished second in a strong listed mares handicap last season and took a step back in the right direction last time. Theflyingbee looks worth another chance to confirm the promise of her Navan second, while it would be no surprise to see Powerful resume progress now tackling 2½m. Of the rest, Moon Mission, Olympy De Cerisy and Plunkett Street all have scope for improvement.
