This is wide-open though Tripartite faces a stiffer task after winning at Lingfield and Jufn had slipped down the weights before scoring at Chepstow. But SILVER GHOST has shown steady progress since joining his current yard and should go close again after winning at Goodwood last month. Compton Mill has been thereabouts at Leicester lately, Harlequin Striker was placed at Windsor last time and Storm King is only 2lb higher than when winning at Chester in May so is not out of this either.
