Verdict
SILKY WILKIE did well to almost defy a handicap mark of 107 in the Epsom Dash and this step into Listed company shouldn’t overface him today. Ed Bethell has his string in tremendous form and the hat-trick seeking Regional may be capable of absorbing the penalty accrued for his success in a Listed event at Haydock last month. Great State and Queen Me are in receipt of all of the allowances with the latter finishing sixth in a high-quality renewal of the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot. Chipstead bombed out badly in the Wokingham though Roger Teal’s inmate did win a valuable handicap on the Knavesmire back in May.
