Next To Nothing, Supreme Silence and Mister Friday look the three to concentrate on in this hunter chase and the vote is given to Supreme Silence. The selection was a fair third behind Rooster last time out. That form has since been franked and with the step back up in trip sure to suit he will be hard to beat. Next To Nothing rates the main danger on his best form but he was slightly disappointing behind Ask The Natives in this sphere last time out and for that reason he is passed over. Mister Friday has been in good form of late and will make a bold bid to make all the running but all his best form of late has been on a softer surface and may vulnerable to something with a finishing kick. Of the remainder Sir Alf also won well last time out and is another with place claims but this looks more competitive and for the winner we return to Supreme Silence.
