Verdict
Plenty of deadwood in this. ISHI HONEST ended a long losing run over course and distance last time when Greek Islands finished fourth and looks capable of defying a 2lb rise in the weights. The latter has since gone close at Kempton while the veteran Alfresco made the frame at Leicester on his latest start but hasn't won since 2011. Silvala Dance showed a bit more last time and Ermine Ruby may do better back on the all-weather for her handicap debut.
