FormscanBy Alan Magee - SILMANIYA doesn’t hold too many secrets from the handicapper but has been a model of consistency since winning over course and distance last autumn. The Johnny Murtagh-trained filly has run with plenty of credit in valuable handicaps this year including when beaten just over a length in the Rockingham at the Curragh and, having been tried in various types of headgear, is now fitted with blinkers for the first time. She had Parting Glass well behind at the Curragh last time, but that rival will be suited by some cut in the ground. The Highway Rat has proved a grand servant to connections winning five times at Dundalk but may just need this after a break of over five months. Arnhem bids for a quick follow up after scoring at the Curragh last Saturday, while Torivega easily won a maiden at Cork last time but has a stiff task at the weights.
