    In depth

    Verdict

    Bryony Frost has won twice on Slaine recently but her mount has not managed a victory here in five previous visits. Silk Run has been disappointing since scoring at Chepstow in April while Saumur turned in a shocker last time at Southwell. Stop Talking also ran poorly last time but is a previous course and distance winner and useful when in the mood. REALLY SUPER (NAP) is at her best in the summer months and she went close on her reappearance at Market Rasen so ticks all the boxes today.
