DOUBLE SILVER (NAP) has shown a nice turn of foot to win twice at Ludlow this year so shouldn't be fazed by this evening's slightly shorter trip. Paddy Brennan has ridden Fergal O'Brien's grey in all three of her career victories and is on board again and she is fancied to prove too strong for recent Cartmel winner Morning With Ivan, despite the big weight difference. Dardanella needs some help from the handicapper, as does Whatdoesthefoxsay, but Jackies Solitaire could figure and Cool Baranca is starting to look well treated. Keep To The Beat is still a maiden but has been getting closer lately.
Whatdoesthefoxsay (IRE) 8-1 (11-5) Prominent, ridden 4 out, lost place 2 out, weakened before last, 6th of 8, 30l behind Dubh Eile (10-10) at Aintree 2m 4f mrs hcp hdl 0-120 (4) gd in May.
