Verdict

Silken Petals returned to the form she was showing last summer when runner-up over course and distance just over two weeks ago while Truely Aclaimed won again at Ayr having beaten a big field at York earlier. She won’t go down without a fight but KIDWAH is very much the unknown factor making her handicap debut having won a maiden at Doncaster last year and a novice event at Redcar on her reappearance. Victoria Grove is also having a first run in a handicap having recorded a morale-boosting victory at Lingfield last month.
