A rating of just 58 says enough about what Silky Smooth has achieved to date, he’s perhaps one of the lowest rated horses in the Roger Varian yard. That said, he did show a reasonable amount of promise last time and could well take a step forward now handicapping. Our information suggests he’s thought to be capable of running to a mark a little higher than his current rating, the step up to a mile will also see some improvement. A nice draw in stall 6, an improved effort is on the cards.
