6th May 2023 Good To Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Dual AW scorer during the winter and a possible non-stayer over 1m4f last time; return to 1m2f is a plus but she faces some likely improvers back on turf. |

Two wins over shorter trip, creating a favourable impression over 1m2f at Lingfield seven weeks ago; 5lb rise asks a stiffer question of her but the new trip could unlock further progress and she can't be ignored. |

Made her breakthrough (fifth attempt) with cheekpieces added in 1m Newcastle handicap last month; below that level at the same venue twice since but the fact she's a winner counts for something in this line-up. |

Improved to make a winning handicap debut at Southwell (1m; 7-2 favourite) last month but he faded into fourth of seven in his follow-up bid at Chelmsford last Saturday; that was disappointing but he still has potential for powerful yard and could kick on again on this return to Tapeta. |

Comfortable winner off this mark at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in January but he's 0-8 since and has been well held in his last three races; now returns to AW but he needs to rediscover his spark. |

Two-time winner whose progress has stalled in recent starts; over 7l to make up with Sparks Fly on last week's C&D run and vulnerable for win purposes. |

His two wins came off slightly lower marks and he's completely exposed after a busy AW campaign; looked to go hard in front last time and has been consistent in the blinkers but remains vulnerable to improvers. |

21st Jan 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Well beaten in his first three starts last autumn and, despite market support and the application of a first-time tongue-tie, he fared little better when seventh of ten on handicap debut at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) 15 days ago; blinkers are now added and interesting to see if his backers return. |

Verdict
Blue Curacao (second choice) ran a promising race on her nursery debut ten days ago and she is high on the list, while Ready Reckoner, Little Roman and Speziato have also offered hope of better in their brief handicap careers. The Angelus Belle and Tollerton Forest look likely improvers now upped in trip for their nursery debuts but SILKY SMOOTH gets the nod. Yes, he has the widest stall to overcome but he left the impression at Wolverhampton 17 days ago that there could be a bigger performance around the corner.[Paul Smith]
