In depth
Verdict
Off Beat, Sable n¿Silk and Elusive Kitty look the main protagonists in another tight affair and we will side with Sable¿n Silk.. The Derek Hayden-Jones inmate is won of the least exposed in the field and won well last time when defeating Anisset, she is still open to improvement and will be hard to beat.. Off Beat won well last time out when different tactics were employed and could go well but he will need to improve again to score off this higher mark. Elusive Kitty could also go well now he steps back up in trip having been doing all his best work at the finish over six furlongs last time. Of the remainder Redbank and Little Eye are from shrewd yards and are worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with the in form Sable n¿Silk.
