Verdict
Silca Key comes here in the form of her life and is taken to land a hat-trick under a penalty at the expense of Jill Dawson and Areyaam. The selection is trained by the in form Channon yard and and has won back to back races at Pontefract and Ayr. She has risen in the weights as a consiquence but still looks wel treated with her six pound penalty so is surley a filly worth following again. Jill Dawson returned from a lay off to win on her seasonal reappearence at Warwick but failed to follow up at Windsor off a four pound higer mark thereafter. If she runs his race then she has a chance be she could be within the grip of the handicapper right now so maybe best watched. Areyaam has her first run in handicap company and gets in off a mark of seventy three after three positive runs in maidens. She was not beaten far on all three runs to date and is one to note in the betting market . But for the winner we return to Silca Key who we feel can land her hat-trick.
