Verdict
Silk Slippers was apprentice ridden when runner-up to See You Smile at Navan with IRON MAJOR a length away in third. The latter is 8lbs better off and can gain his revenge by taking this tight handicap. Bank On Black makes her handicap debut after showing up nicely in maidens and may just have found 7f too far last time while Toparch has been running well enough to consider and Wayne Lordan takes over from an apprentice. Kateeva finished behind her at Down Royal last time but should also be suited by the shorter trip.
