Ring Minella has been raised 4lb for winning at Warwick back in May but Hier Encore is preferred on last month’s second over track and trip. The latter can go close again while No No Juliet may well improve now handicapping for the first time and makes more appeal than Neetside. But SILVER SEA has been thereabouts over today’s trip recently and with a conditional taking 5lb off his back today and a tongue-tie fitted for the first time, Seamus Mullins’ charge is fancied to open his account over hurdles.
