Successful 3 times in novice/nursery events last summer and she arrives here in good order, beaten ½-length when third of 4 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 16 days ago, keeping on. Should go well again.

10/1

Landed back-to-back AW events over 6f over the winter and posted career-best display when second at Windsor (6f) 2 starts back. Not at best at Carlisle (6.9f) since but this ease back down in trip may well help.

SILENT FLAME confirmed the more positive signs from Nottingham when running out a good winner at Newbury 17 days ago and, with the Millman yard continuing in fine form, she could well be up to defying a 4 lb higher mark here. 3-y-os Adaay in Asia and Kodias Sangarius back down at 6f head up the dangers.
