Verdict

SILENT REVOLUTION failed to land the odds on his debut at Wincanton but was only beaten half-a-length and is fancied to recoup losses. Chris Gordon trained the winner of that Wincanton contest and introduces Baddesley Night’s full sister Grangeclare Knight so she is worth a market check. Le Grand Lion has a nice jumping pedigree and Reilly cost €85,000 but Guinness Affair is Flat bred so should have more speed than most. Lebowski finished second at Tipperary in June but has changed stables since.
