Event Of Sivola goes well fresh but is a couple of pounds out of the handicap. The Two Amigos hasn’t won for a while but is dour stayer on a decent mark nowadays and makes more appeal than Cartmel specialist Dressedforsuccess. Bbold ran in this two years ago but didn’t appear to last home. A winner over an extended 3m6f at Chepstow in March and placed later over 3m4f at Ffos Las, stamina clearly won’t be an issue for SILVER IN DISGUISE who gets a tentative vote despite the lack of a recent run. Raddle And Hum and Tommie Beau are both on a hat-trick but upped in grade but All About Joe remains unexposed over fences and Storm Lorenzo could improve again for the step up in trip.
