A revitalised IVORY SILK landed a double at Lingfield earlier this year and wasn't disgraced in a couple of starts on turf since. Dropping back down in grade for her return to the Polytrack, Jeremy Gask's mare could take all the beating. Cloud's End has won twice on this surface but hasn't been seen the track since August, while Quaroma was having her first start for nearly two years when sixth at this course last month. Ray Of Joy is struggling for form at present but has four C&D wins to her name and could prove the biggest danger, along with Diapason who has been placed at Wolverhampton recently.
