Verdict

A wide-open start to proceedings which features previous course and distance winners Marcret and Tres Coronas. Sennockian Star is another to have won at the track and arrives off the back of victory in the City And Suburban at Epsom. Mark Johnston also runs the potentially well-treated Party Royal while Yeager will strip fitter for his second at Lingfield last month. Anaconda has also been in action on the Polytrack and That's Plenty has made a successful return to Turf having followed up a second at the Curragh with a win at Musselburgh. STRICTLY SILVER is only a pound higher than when winning over this trip at Newmarket in August. He ran a lot better than the final result suggests at Newmarket on Saturday and could be too good here for Kempton third Squire Osbaldeston and the returning Gabrial The Great.
