    Verdict

    Ann Duffield has sent out two of the last four winners but Silhuette and stablemate Encantar, who won a Carlisle handicap last time, will need to find plenty of improvement to get the better of EQLEEM. The latter finished less than a length behind runner-up Orvar, rated 101, when third in a conditions race at Newmarket and looks the one to beat on that form. Dodgy Bob is better than his latest effort suggests and has plenty in hand with Unilit on today's terms.
