A run in a maiden should have helped bring Garra Molly to fever pitch in the 6.50 at Wolverhampton and, while it can be suggested that she has had too many chances, she was running over distances too far for most of last year. Snow Dancer at least has winning form and is weighted to reverse a narrow beating by Formidable Guest. She did not have a clear run that day and I will be having a saver on her.

Silvanus was too free to last out six furlongs last time and it was a similar story here before the new year. In between over the minimum at Great Leighs, he was beaten only narrowly and the return to five furlongs should bear fruit in the 8.50. Ian Semple had a winner at Lingfield this afternoon and that encourages me to have a little more of the 6.0plus on offer about Silvanus.
