      Verdict

      Silks Graphite ran her best race to date on soft going at Yarmouth last month but RIVER NAVER met trouble-in-running when making her handicap debut at Bath 11 days ago and warrants another chance. Ghost Lights has been thereabouts in four runs on the all-weather to date but tackles this surface for the first time and Insolente is now 0-11. Starnight is preferred to Cloud Queen of the remainder.
