        Verdict

        Dragon Tree and Go Packing Go were both well beaten on their respective debuts and are hard to fancy. But Silversmith fared much better on his introduction when beaten only a head at Kempton and looks to have leading claims. Ivors Involvement showed some improvement to finish fourth at Lingfield while Venus Grace has a shout on the best of her form from last year. But a chance is taken on the newcomer GALEOTTI in this given he is a half-brother to six winners and has an entry in April's valuable Tattersalls Millions at Newmarket.
