    Verdict

    Silk Run was racing over further when last seen and may need this. Mabela is relatively unexposed but only won by a neck at Huntingdon and the second has been well beaten since. It's O Kay has yet to win beyond 2m1f but was second at Huntingdon in January off today’s mark and Talent To Amuse has had a rest since disappointing at Ascot in November. BURN BABY BYRNE is closely matched with It's O Kay on the form book but gets on well with Isabel Williams and can probably be forgiven her latest outing here as she was making headway when becoming unbalanced following a blunder. In a tight handicap, she may just come out on top.
