Silver Springs was only beaten a head at Chelmsford last time while Inaam won at Wolverhampton before finding a 5lb rise beyond him when only fifth over track and trip last month. More Kudos is less exposed and should go well after placing at Wolverhampton on his reappearance. He may well reverse running with the second Kristoff but SANTIBURI SPRING (NAP) makes most appeal in this. The latter just failed to catch the winner in a higher grade at Kempton on her handicap debut and John Best's filly can go one better.
