Verdict

Old Jewry ended last season in fine form and it would be no surprise if he confirmed Newcastle running with Christmas In Usa on worse terms. Silken Moonlight won over hurdles at Carlisle before finishing second over fences at Sedgefield. She’s also run in a bumper and on the all-weather this year so is certainly versatile. Tico Times has won twice over fences this year while Keep The River drops a further 3lb since her latest third at Sedgefield and is well treated nowadays, though is hard to win with. GETTHEPOT is improving and has the greater scope. He got going too late at Huntingdon last month and can recoup losses having been raised just a pound. Melanamix might appreciate this better ground and looks the pick of Mike Smith’s pair.
