Verdict

Al Khan carries a penalty for winning at Leicester and is drawn out wide for this while Gift Of Silence will find today's trip short enough having scored over 1m4f at Haydock last week. BELLE BAYARDO is also penalised for a win at Chepstow but he scored by three lengths and today's amateur has ridden winners at the course before. My Single Malt won one of these events over track and trip last month while Ralphy Boy and Janaab are others to consider.
