Silence Is Bliss has a leading chance after running well over 7f last time and finishing even closer over 6f at Kempton before that. SOVIET SPRING started favourite for that race but weakened in the closing stages on his return from a break. With that run under his belt and dropping back in trip, Andrew Balding's charge is fancied to take this contest. Slatey Hen and Honkers Bonkers are others who should go well and are worthy of consideration.
