Verdict

SMOOTH SILESIE arrives on a roll and is fancied to make light of a 5 lb penalty for her recent Yarmouth victory and make it three successes in her last four outings. Windsor scorer Merrimack appeals as the one to chase home Lisa Williamson's thriving filly ahead of On Edge and The Coffee Pod.
