In depth
Verdict
Second again in a nursery over 6f here recently, Silken Petals probably deserves a change of luck but SILKY WILKIE can improve past Phil McBride’s filly having shown plenty of speed here on debut two weeks ago. Lucy Lulu ran fifth in the Hilary Needler at Beverley when last seen so can’t be ignored and she makes more appeal than Piranheer and Cozican at the weights.
