Verdict

Silken Sash takes a huge drop in grade after failing to make an impact in a highly competitive handicap at Royal Ascot and will take the beating at this level. Indian Shores was a fair fourth in a similar heat over this course and distance in May and may pip recent Catterick handicap runner-up, Mystic Witch, for the forecast spot.
