Verdict

The market should prove highly informative but Dermot Weld's SILVER KISS holds the clear edge on form so is taken to build on a good Punchestown second and get off the mark. Chattering Classes shaped well when a debut fourth at the Curragh and appeals as the one to chase her home. Joseph O'Brien's debutants Light of Saxony and Kathy M can't be discounted either, especially if the market vibes are positive.
