Silent Flame is running well and should be thereabouts again. She appears to have the beating of Willoughby Bay on collateral form. Ruby Cottage beat the recent Windsor winner Sarah's Verse on worse terms at Bath in May but COMMANDMENT looks the one to beat on recent efforts which include a narrow defeat at Pontefract latest on good to firm. Trusty Rusty is upped in grade and may struggle.
