Verdict
Silvanus already looked a shade high in the weights before being raised another 3lb for finishing second at Musselburgh last time and JUST FOR MARY is preferred. She's moving in the opposite direction having gone close off a 10lb higher mark at the Curragh last year and looks set for a return to winning ways after a couple of outings over C&D. Meandmyshadow is open to further improvement this term and the 7lb claim of Ned Curtis will help the cause of Irish Boy on his return to action.
