Golden Silca goes well on this demanding track and took the corresponding race in 2000. Mick Channon's charge will relish the testing conditions and is well treated at the weights. Kootenay made all when successful in similar company at Kempton on her return (carries 3lb penalty) and will be better suited by the return to this trip after failing to last home over 10f last time. Loveleaves made a pleasing return to lift a Windsor maiden but will find this much tougher.
