Verdict

Toto Skyllachy was only second over a mile at Southwell on Thursday under Jacob Butterfield and has never convinced over this longer trip. Gentlemax has only been raised 2lb for his narrow defeat of Brave Decision at Kempton but the runner-up could reverse that form here and Saturation Point should be thereabouts having shed her maiden tag at Wolverhampton. CADMIUM and Leah-Anne Avery have been cleaning up at Kempton recently and Harry Dunlop's filly had more in hand than the official verdict suggests over Silvee last time - she can complete the hat-trick.
