Only a few make any appeal on recent form with SILVER LINING just preferred. He finished ahead of Rennie Mackintosh when runner-up over today's trip at Lingfield last time and also has the beating of Pink Lips on earlier running. Bennelong regularly makes the frame off his current mark but was still beaten five lengths when third at Lingfield a week ago while San Quentin remains 10lb higher than when landing a double with a win at Wolverhampton in September. Tilstarr won off a higher mark at Brighton last year but has been well beaten over hurdles of late.
