      Verdict

      Golden Silca has a lot in her favour today and deserves to get another win registered in the book. But her connections must be reaching the point of exasperation by now with her knack of finding one or two too good. She is sure to find the competition difficult again and may find Spring Oak gives her plenty to think about in the closing stages. This is a step back in trip for the four-year-old, but she fared well on her travels last season and could be in line to start paying her way for her new connections. Premier Prize has a 3lb penalty here and may struggle to confirm recent form with Golden Silca over this trip.
