    Verdict

    Break The Silence ended a frustrating run of placed efforts with last week’s victory over track and trip. Sylviacliffs finished third on that occasion with Muqarred further behind but FORSETI looks to have a decent chance in this. Mick Appleby’s charge returned a losing favourite here last time but today’s drop in both distance and class can see him back to winning ways. Red Bravo finished in front of De Little Engine at Lingfield on his return from a lay-off and is worth a second glance given Charlie Hills has a decent strike rate on the Fibresand.
