Fitness 7.0/10 19 days back is an ideal turnaround. Trip 7.0/10 Has been running competitively at and around this trip on the AW. Pace 6.0/10 Tracking style; Silvestre's tactical know-how is a positive. Draw 4.0/10 Stall 1 over 1m1f at Wolves can be awkward — has to commit early or be trapped. Equipment 7.0/10 Visor reapplied after best run a couple back is a sharpener. Weight 7.0/10 Carries just 126lb — clear weight pull versus the 135lb-bracket rivals.

Narrative: Low-grade AW handicap where Silkies Sib's superior RPR (79, 3lb clear) plus James Owen's red-hot yard (21% 14d strike) and Silvestre De Sousa make him the most credible. Karakula gets Oisin Murphy for a Ferguson yard running at 25% and ran a decent second last time. Bizou won last start for an in-form Portman barn. Dingwall is the perennial bridesmaid (four 2nds in last five) — solid each-way shape but flag the win drought. Recommended: Silkies Sib Top RPR (79) by 2-3lb, in-form (136363), elite stable form (Owen 21% / RTF 55), and Silvestre De Sousa booked — best combination of class, form and connections in the race. Alternative: Karakula Oisin Murphy partners for a James Ferguson yard returning 25% in the last fortnight; ran a solid second on return and gets in light off OFR 61. ============================================================================== Generated 2026-05-19 13:42 UTC · HorseRacingValue.com · race rac_11948001
