Formscan By Tom Weekes - KISS WILL debuts for top connections having shown good form in a smart French bumper in September 2023 and should be ready for today’s reappearance. Runner-up at Fontainebleau on debut, that race’s winner subsequently finished second at Grade 1-level while the third-placed horse was placed at Grade 3-level afterwards. The selection sold to current connections for E280,000 that same September and while he returns following 478 days off, is just a five-year-old and is likely to have been given time to mature. Bacchanalian has useful recent form, which will help his cause, but is vulnerable to smart types while point-to-point winner Pure Steel ran ok on his hurdling debut here in December but should struggle to win.
