SILK CRAVAT can register a second victory of the season by taking this competitive looking 6f handicap. The selection is dropping in grade today and can take advantage of a 6lb lower mark with this drop in trip unlikely to inconvenience him today. Of his rivals today Lyfka is very well handicapped on her old form and can finish second today with this drop in trip likely to suit while Nigg Bay can finish third on his first outing in handicap company.
