Myristica scored over the track and trip under Silvestre De Sousa in May but hasn't made the expected improvement in subsequent starts. Realist went up 9lb for an easy victory over the trip at Chelmsford and his later runs have been in better company. Big Boy Bobby has shown ability in just four starts but looks high enough in the weights while SILVER GUNN ran poorly when pulling too hard at Doncaster. The latter looked one to follow when scoring at Yarmouth and hopefully a first-time hood can settle him down here.
