The drop in trip and grade should suit the fairly-handicapped Featherweight however a better bet may lie with SILENT ACT after a recent demolition job. Amanda Perrett's filly appreciate a return to more aggressive tactics when sauntering home last week and under a 6lb penalty on similar ground she may be a tough nut to crack. Goldtrek is a huge danger; this progressive filly is up another 7lbs for a latest win and whilst hard to oppose she is taken on in this better company. Aktia remains of interest despite being turned over at odds-on at Leicester with any rain in her favour, Calatrava Cape's form with Trovare has worked out well and she should appreciate a return to racing against her own sex, whilst Shy and Marie De Guise are both not finished with yet, especially the latter who has been given a break since defeat at the track. With the lightly-weighted Balletlou and Sula Two thrown into the mix, this has the makings of one of the best fillies' handicaps of the year.
