Luc Jordan hasn't run for almost a year and hasn't won since 2009 while Six Silver Lane has run poorly on his last two starts on Turf after scoring at Dundalk in May. Snap Alam scored over 7f at Sligo last month and may have found the ground too heavy at Roscommon later but Kedleston is an improving colt and though behind Six Silver Lane at Dundalk has done much better subsequently and battled on to beat Summer Knight at Lepardstown last time. STUNNED SILENCE wasn't particularly fancied when making her debut at Dundalk last October but still managed to beat Wave and Choral Society, who both won next time out. That was her only run but presumably doesn't take much getting ready and can defy a long absence.
