FormscanBy John O'Riordan - SILMANIYA, who didn't get the run of the race when fifth behind three of these at Cork last time, can come out on top. The Johnny Murtagh-trained filly met with interference leaving the stalls and was always playing catch up in a strongly run race. To her credit, she was keeping on strongly at the finish, suggesting that with better luck she may have won. Little Queenie was only just touched off in that aforementioned race so looks the biggest threat under Robert Whearty. Although 3lbs higher here, Paul Flynn's filly only has to carry a pound more once taking her riders claim into account. Course and distance winner Curraheen Princess has been running well of late so is another that has to be given every chance in a very open contest.
