Verdict
After three seconds this year SILVERRICA deserves a change of luck. She looked an unlucky loser here last week and can finally get her head in front today at the main expense of Daylight, who was a shade disappointing when beaten on his return over a slightly longer trip at Brighton. The others are impossible to fancy on what they've shown so far.
