Brighton looks to have avoided the rain and that will suit SILVER BULLITT. He only won a seller on hard ground at Lingfield earlier this month but still has a bit of scope and runner-up King's Masque has won twice since. Almuftarris wasn't far away over C&D last time and a 7lb claimer allows Renegotiate to race off a lower mark than when scoring over track and trip in June. Swift Blade had Welsh Nayber just behind when second here before winning at Goodwood and he's another to consider in a competitive opener.
