Silky Wilkie

9st 3lb

J: Clifford Lee

Campaigned almost exclusively over sprint trips; consistent AW form this year includes two wins; effective on turf but hasn't scored in this sphere for three years and he's not the percentage call back at 7f.

Ended a long losing run at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in January and he also won at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in February; he's continued in good form on Tapeta on his last two starts and is also effective over this C&D; might have a part to play.

Currently in a consistent vein of form; ties in with Papa Cocktail on C&D running in January; losing sequence is mounting up but he's 8lb below last winning mark and receives plenty of weight all round.

Multiple winner but turf successes are thin on the ground now, just one in over three years; however, he's been running up to his best since back on grass, going down narrowly in a higher grade at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in May and another solid effort there last time; thereabouts.

Exposed sprinter who wins in his turn these days but his C&D record reads 312; that latest visit was just one month ago and he competes from the same mark as when far from disgraced in midfield at York a fortnight ago; each-way contender.

Record is only 1-13, the success on turf as a 2yo; however, he went very close off current mark in a Good Friday contest at Lingfield (6f) on last AW attempt; interesting back in this sphere on seasonal debut.

None too consistent but he ran well on his return to turf at Windsor last month and then lost his chance at the start at Bath 16 days ago (blindfold off late); on a good mark and his rider takes off a handy 5lb; interesting with new blinkers replacing a visor.

Sole success came in a Chester maiden in June 2024; often attracts support but flatters to deceive on many occasions; visor returns after being left off last time, and he's down to a career-low mark, but 1-16 win record is off-putting.
