Verdict

Jaaryah hasn't raced since a well beaten fifth in last year's Cheshire Oaks and as this is her first encounter with soft ground, she's taken on with ASHIRI. David Simcock's colt was making his handicap debut when fourth at Newbury last month and is fancied to find the necessary improvement to land this. Dual mile winner Silvery Moon will need to step up on his previous attempts at this longer trip though he had The Mellor Fella well behind when runner-up at this track last time and Cape Rising is much better than her recent poor effort at Catterick suggests.
