There were excuses for PYRAMID PLACE’s run at Fakenham in December. He’s been rested since and this looks the type of race he is capable of popping up in. Seventeen O Four hasn’t really threatened since scoring at Chepstow over Christmas and Lydford Lad has also been a bit disappointing since getting off the mark but My Silver Lining looks a threat as the form of his Lingfield victory was franked when the runner-up finished second in a Grade 2 subsequently. Limetree Boy is similarly unexposed but Hititi might struggle in this grade.
