None of these have threatened so far and all step up in trip. Code Of Silence was a disappointing favourite over 7f last time and debuts on the all-weather along with Newmarket sixth Hemsworth. DON’T LOOK BACK returns from a short-break having only finished fourth at Chelmsford on his debut but both placed horses have subsequently won so the form looks better in hindsight and he gets a speculative vote. Silver Shade is worth noting for Mark Johnston’s yard and is preferred to Desert Empire and Vino Victrix of the newcomers.
