Brown Trix won at Newcastle earlier with SILVERTON back in third but the latter may prove a safer proposition today given the former broke a blood vessel at Market Rasen last time. Lucy Normile’s charge re-opposes on slightly better terms and has won off a higher mark in the past. Mr Witmore ran well at Carlisle last week with Court Painter well behind but Achill Road Boy never recovered from early mistakes at Musselburgh having found only one too good at Fakenham before that. Orioninverness won here at this time last year and is only 2lb higher today.
