Perfect Ch'I had dropped to a tempting mark when scoring at Kempton and was well backed when unshipping James Doyle on a follow-up mission here. Ivory Silk hasn't won since December 2008 but has dropped in the weights accordingly and looks ready to score again soon though maybe not today. Gary Moore has SPINNING BAILIWICK in top form and though she's 4lb higher than when beating Black Baccara over 6f at Kempton she's still reasonably treated and can complete a hat-trick. Timpanist is improving but it was a poor maiden in which she finished runner-up here last time.
