Verdict
Cite D'or has run a couple of nice races in defeat since making a winning debut at Brighton but has a penalty to carry against les-exposed types. Silk Bird’s debut run at Thirsk looked slightly better than Mythical World’s but it would be no surprise to see a couple of newcomers to the fore in this. KHINJANI is a sister to the stable’s Listed winner Kawida so get the nod ahead of Montevideo, a half-sister to a Listed winner in France.
