In depth
Verdict
A couple of these raced in different contests at the same meeting here in December. Dollnamix was still beaten a long way when runner-up in this grade but SILVER QUAY was only three lengths behind the winner when third in a tougher race than this and Jimmy Frost’s charge gets the vote to come out best on that form. Oologist was expected to do better at Southwell last time but Telson Barley showed improvement at Warwick on his handicap debut and could be in the mix.
