FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Four with claims in a tricky little contest but SILKEN LADDER can complete a hat-trick. Joe Murphy’s filly was clearly well-treated when landing a gamble on handicap debut at Killarney before bolting up when dropped back to this trip at Gowran. She was given a 15lb hike for that success which gives her a chance at these weights if that assessment is correct. Warren Beach is also going for three in a row after making all at Gowran and Listowel. He has improved for the fitting of blinkers and his style of running is handy in these small-field contests. Confident Star beat recent Group 3 winner Aikhal when winning his maiden at Cork last year and should be all the better for his recent reappearance at the Curragh, while Leopardstown maiden winner Corporal Violette has a little bit to find on ratings but is open to improvement.
