STAR KISSED was quick to resume progress on her second start in handicaps when running out a ready winner at Roscommon 15 days ago and a 5 lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold bid with the prospect of more to come. Last year's runner-up Safecracker is a threat from an easing mark, with Spasiba, Morph Speed and Pralognan others also worthy of note.
