KISS MY FACE didn't need to improve to get off the mark in this sphere at Newcastle a fortnight ago and, given his current mood, a 5 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up. He gets the nod ahead of Alchemystique, who ran well back on the Flat returning from 9 months off when second at Newcastle earlier this month. King Charles and Chef de Troupe can fight out minor honours.
