Silence Reigns gets the vote here with La Lambert and Lightning Star rating the main dangers. The selection won in facile fashion in this grade when beating Mantras last time out. This looks as easy and under conditions that suit he looks the one to be on. La Lambertine rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Tom Bell. He is dropping in grade and should be noted in the market. Lightning Star is another with place claims on his latest second behind Red Nose Lady but he gave the impression he would be suited by a longer trio on that occasion and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Moving Earth has the ability to go close if he puts his best foot forward but he is far from consistent and for the winner we return to Silence Reigns .
