Verdict
SHADES OF SILK is improving with every start and ran out an easy winner over track and trip last time. Meebo was over three lengths behind and re-opposes on better terms but James Given's filly is the one to beat with further progress likely. It's hard to make a case for any of the remainder but Back On Baileys ran a lot better than her recent seventh at Redcar suggests while Sylvan Spirit and Spider Lily may be capable of better making their handicap debuts.
