Solid Silver, Make A Mark and Thai Vango are three against the field in this competitive bumper and the narrow vote is given to Make A Mark. The selection was a fair seventh in a better race behind Wee Bertie last time out, is sure to have learnt from the experiance and given nominal improvement he looks the one to be on. Solid Silver rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Kai Kuri but he will find this harder under his penalty and he is opposed with this in mind. Thai Vango won a point on his only start to date and hails from a yard that does well in this sphere so he should be closely watched in the market. Of the remainder Wicklow Wanderer is another last time out winner but his overall form leaves him with a little to find and for the winner we return to Make A Mark.
