This is another competitive handicap and from a shortlist of Requisite, Silver Wind and The Game we will side with Requisite as the pick. The selection was well beaten last time out but that was in a Listed race at Chester and she will be much more at home now that she is back in handicap company. She has solid form and she should take all the beating. The Game won well last time at Newmarket when he beat Cornus, and he is still well-treated on the pick of his form. Silver Wind scored last time out when he beat Sudden Impact but he was all-out to score that day and this race looks tougher. We have A Dream has gone well here in the past so is another to consider, but Requisite will appreciate this ease in grade and she looks the one to beat.
