SILVER TIGRESS has been hit with a massive 11lb rise for her very easy victory at Musselburgh but can run with a 5lb penalty here so is very well in and gets the nod. La Bacouetteuse was having his first start since November when scoring comfortably at Newcastle so a 6lb rise should prove too much of a problem while Ferney Boy dropped to 1m4f to gain his first success at Beverley on soft ground and is on the upgrade. Prince Rhyddarch scored over this trip at Hamilton on soft ground but couldn't cope with quicker going and a 5lb rise at Hamilton later.
