In depth

Verdict

SILENT ASSISTANT was only headed at the last in a Class 3 handicap at Cheltenham on his reappearance. That was a step in the right direction and, back in maiden company and over a longer distance, Emma Lavelle’s charge is difficult to oppose. A Time To Shine lost a shoe when third at Southwell so that run can probably be ignored and he looks a danger alongside Gosheven, who is more exposed but has run some solid races in defeat and was brought down early on here on his reappearance.
