Sperrin has already had a couple of runs on the Polytrack but it would be no surprise if Leoncavallo proved the better long-term prospect of Charlie Appleby's two runners. Silent Thunder hasn't been beaten far in any of his three starts and definitely has place prospects but the likes of Happy Dreams and WAJEEH (NAP) have more scope. Frankie teams up with the latter after a very promising debut over course and distance nine days ago and the Raven's Pass gelding can open his account. Red Majesty may need this but will be qualified for handicaps in the coming weeks.
