Verdict
The handicapper has chosen to leave JUST ONE KISS on the same mark despite winning her maiden at Lingfield by five lengths. Lady Cecil's filly can follow up back in handicap company. Both Greensward and Gracious George went close when filling the places behind Wilfred Pickles last time and can figure once again, while Paul Booth's claim allows Shaunas Spirit to race off a lower mark than when scoring at Lingfield in December. Hierarch has a shout back over a mile and Windsor winner Collodi is also worth noting on his reappearance.
