Verdict
Judging by the list of entries for TWIST OF SILVER, she has been found an ideal way to boost her confidence before some much stiffer tests ahead; in the likely absence of Moll Davies, Alantina may be the best alternative. A quick glance at the jockey bookings does suggest that Kelly Harrison will have to work wonders in the saddle on Annalika if she is going to put Seb Sanders (Alantina) and Ryan Moore (Twist Of Silver) in the shade. By Newmarket standards this is an extremely disappointing way to start an evening meeting. However, whatever price you can get about Twist Of Silver is more than likely to at least point you in the right direction for the reminder of the action.
