        Verdict

        The drop in trip for Silca's Gift may not be absolutely ideal if her form last season proves to be a reliable guide so, although she is very much respected after her victory in the Nell Gwyn at Newmarket last month, she is taken on with Golden Nun in the search for a value bet today. Forever Phoenix and Millybaa are others to consider as both come here in good form and should not be too far off the speed as things unfold. While Petite Rose, who comfortably held Needles And Pins last time, is another to put on the list of alternatives as she is the least exposed runner in the field. However, she lacks the experience held by a few of these and has a fair bit to prove on balance. Therefore, Golden Nun, whose stable won this in 2000 with Hot Tin Roof, appeals at the likely prices today. The daughter of Bishop Of Cashel has held her own in tougher races than this in the past and, as this trip may suit her better than Silca's Gift, she edges the narrow vote today.
