Silent Move is penalised for winning nicely over 7f at Thirsk last month while Apiarist was narrowly beaten in a division of the same race. VICTORY SHOUT was only fourth over today’s trip at Haydock but was beaten less than a length and Karl Burke’s colt may prove the one to side with given the runner-up has won subsequently. Love Safari represents last year’s winning yard and is preferred to Apache Angel.
