(1)

Flying Kiss¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 67

13/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form third of 8 in minor event (10/3) at Windsor (5.1f, good) 19 days ago. On a fair opening mark based on her best effort, so not a forlorn hope for all that she hasn't fired the last twice.

Form: 32253

(2)

Shot^t¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Jack Jones| OR: 66| D

(8)

Rhythmic Acclaim¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: A J Farragher⁽³⁾| T: P J McBride| OR: 61

7/2

Respectable third of 8 in handicap (5/1) at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) 17 days ago, slowly away. Not really progressing but could make her presence felt if things drop right.

Form: 422463

(4)

American Rose^p³⁸

Forecasts

Song Of Success (7/2), Rhythmic Acclaim (7/2), Musical Tribute (13/2), Fifty Year Storm (13/2), Flying Kiss (13/2), Shot (11/1), Aira Force (12/1), American Rose (12/1), Anificas Beauty (12/1), Spring Day (33/1)

MUSICAL TRIBUTE has few miles on the clock and she's bred to be better than she's shown to date, so she's worth chancing back down in trip with blinkers applied. Song of Success was doing some good late work at Yarmouth last time and she's considered the main danger ahead of Fifty Year Storm.
