Verdict
SILKEN PETALS got upset in the stalls prior to failing to run her race in a Listed contest at Newbury 12 days ago. She’d won earlier at York and Kempton and her second to Sandrine on debut is the stand-out form in this. Dora Penny is less exposed and has won over 5f and 6f on Turf so can’t be ignored while Ana Gold got off the mark at Beverley earlier this month and has scope. Nickleby is also on an upward curve with Reem Zabeel and Falafel likely improvers.
