      Verdict

      Silca Mistress included a course and distance success in her earlier double but was well beaten attempting to make all at Salisbury last time. On A May Day landed a double at Brighton last month but hasn’t figured in a couple of subsequent starts while Mesquite is another to notch-up a double earlier in the year but looks in the handicapper's grip now though still has the beating of No More Thrills. ISLAND CLOUD has faced tougher tasks than this lately and a repeat of last month’s second on the Turf course at Lingfield should see her go close as the winner has gone in again since.
