Verdict
King's Ciel has shown very good pace on both starts over further and should be suited by dropping back in trip while Courtland Avenue also produced very good speed on his debut at Windsor and will have learnt plenty from the run. Uncle Roger and Two Bridges found Dixie's Dream too pacey for them at Brighton but the former is another who will have gained from the experience of that debut run. Newcomer SILKEE SUPREME's pedigree doesn't exactly scream speed despite being by Primo Valentino but this doesn't look a tough introduction and he may be good enough.
