Verdict

SILKIES SIB has held his form well since scoring at Wolverhampton in December and seems sure to go well again from an unchanged mark. Kaaress got back on track at Lingfield last month and may provide most resistance, with Night Bear also worth a second look down in trip in a switch of headgear.
