      Verdict

      The improving My Hope has strong claims here, along with the unexposed Sierra, but we will go for the tried and trusted and plump for Silverhay. David Barron's three-year-old gained a deserved victory at Haydock last time, dictating the pace, before holding off the late challenge of Almond Willow. It wasn't the strongest of races but there could still be scope for improvement. The southern challenge is headed by Roger Charlton's My Hope, who ran well to finish a close up third behind Donastrella at Bath last time. Sierra disappointed over a longer trip here last time and may do better over this mile trip. Of the others Queenstown can also be given a squeak, Brian Meehan has his string in great form at present and this son of Desert Style looks to be coming back to his best. However, now Silver Hay has learned how to win, a follow up could be on the cards.
