Dual 7f winner SILENT BULLET looks ready for the step up in trip having just failed to catch the winner at Sandown on his return. Saeed Bin Suroor's charge gets the nod ahead of The Rectifier, who ran well in similar company at Haydock last time. Magic City has slipped down the weights but his previous efforts over a mile were less than convincing and Directorship makes more appeal having won off similar marks at Newmarket and Sandown last term. Verse Of Love may now be in the handicapper's grip after a 5lb rise for winning at Chester last month.
