Silca Destination has a 6lb penalty to carry for her narrow win at Kempton last week and Mick Channon's filly may struggle to carry that to victory, with a safer bet looking to be Talamahana, who gets the vote over Too Grand. The last mentioned has been slightly disappointing of late but has slipped to a fair mark as a result so has to be respected. Planet Paradise is hard to recommend on all known form but is less exposed than most of these so cannot be ruled out, while Last Angel may improve for racing in a handicap for the first time. It is hard to get away from Talamahana though. The daughter of Kyllachy has been in good form of late and she is taken to defy a 5lb rise for her latest success.
