Armiger has shown bits of form in maidens and he could figure, while Silvas Romana disappointed at Chester last time but that may have come too soon after her victory at the same track. Worth gets first-time blinkers after a modest handicap debut at Leicester and may do better here, but Emma Jean has plenty to find despite her recent second at Bath. KING'S CIEL's fourth at Salisbury in June looks the best piece of form on offer and George Baker's charge gets the speculative vote on his handicap bow.
