        Verdict

        SILLY GILLY's last two wins have been over C&D including a division of this race last year. She pushed Dhhamaan, who runs in the previous race, all the way to the line when runner-up here on her penultimate start and Ron Barr's mare gets the nod to go one better. Ayr winner Beckermet has a bit to find with the selection on earlier running, but Toby Tyler should confirm last month's form at Hamilton with subsequent winner Pelmanism on better terms. Lindoro won here in April and could figure along with the lightly-raced Diablo Dancer.
