Silver Gypsy is progressing nicely but the form of her Exeter win last month has taken a couple of knocks recently and she looks to be facing a stiff task at the weights here getting only 4lb from BANJAXED GIRL. The seven-year-old was out of her depth behind Karabak at Cheltenham last month but her record in this grade is hard to fault and she gave Alasi 10lb and a beating at Cheltenham last April and also finished ahead of Alegralil at Newbury earlier. Synthe Davis was a wide-margin winner at Fontwell when last seen but may be biting off more than she can chew in this.
