Silver Service reverted to 6f for the first time in a while at the Curragh and gained a facile victory on testing ground, earning a massive 13lb rise as a result. She obviously loves the trip and going and should go well again but MIACOMET also scored at the same fixture and has the more reliable form. Jack Davison's filly is up 4lb and there's little between her, third-placed Mary Salome and the close fourth Sendmylovetoyou but she's taken to confirm the form and go in again. Aleef has been in good form but an 8lb rise for winning here two weeks ago looks harsh while All The King's Men hasn't made the expected progress from landing a Listed race here a year ago.
