Bilash beat Divertimenti a head over the C&D in May but the runner-up should turn the tables on 6lb better terms. Style And Panache won over the C&D in October and is now 5lb lower due to moderate subsequent form. He was behind Bilash, Moorhouse Girl and Divertimenti here at the beginning of the month and none of them are in great shape at present. Nickel Silver returned to action following a very long break in May on a mark of 81. He's now down to 68 and showed a bit more at Beverley last time so with Paul Hanagan on board he can go well. SELFARA didn't show much in maidens and is handicapped accordingly. She started favourite for her handicap debut over 7f at Kempton but weakened quickly after setting the pace and wore first-time blinkers at Ffos Las when again attempting to make all over 6f. This trip should prove her optimum and with progress likely she looks the one to beat.
