Carey Williamson has ridden Silver Lily in all four of her recent victories and the partnership is sure to be popular again here. She's been put up a further 8lb since winning narrowly over 2m3f here last week, however, which may be too much. Saute is another in cracking form and won by 20 lengths at Fontwell on Thursday. He has a penalty in this but Michael Byrne's claim cancels that out and he shouldn't be far away. Houston Dynimo won on the Flat in May, but Lets Go Girls only won a seller here last week and Pete finds little off the bridle. Pobs Trophy is interesting, however, as is BORDER TALE. Fast ground suits the latter nowadays and he's back on a decent mark. Jimmy Moffatt's charge gets the nod.
