Sendeed has only won a Hamilton maiden so far and was disappointing on his handicap debut at Windsor. He drops back in trip but this is no straightforward task as SILKSTONE has a good record here having won and finished second twice in three previous visits. Pam Sly’s gelding could get his head back in front, though Greek Hero will appreciate a drop in grade and Danny Tudhope rides. Kermouster has only won at Class 6 level so far.
