Verdict

CREM FRESH returned from a lengthy lay-off to finish second at Hereford in January and she has leading claims in this. Esme Shelby can figure if on a going day while Brian Hughes takes over the reins on Rose Of Siena but Silver Vision beat little of note when a 66/1 chance at Musselburgh. Emily Wade has found some form, however, finishing third last time at Southwell when beaten under three lengths and Asa may still have a bit of scope.
