Silent Steps is having a first run for a new yard but isn’t badly treated and Jack Andrews takes off 7lb. DAWNIERIVER hasn’t won for a while but has tumbled down the ratings as a result. She’s had wind surgery since last seen and should go close in a race like this if that operation has had the desired effect. Troubled Soul keeps plugging away but is not getting any closer but Pulling Power will have needed her comeback run and Indian Native did win between the flags so may yet make a chaser.
