Quiet Moment would have finished closer here last month had he not missed the break. He'd beaten a subsequent winner at Ayr previously so is in good form and has to go on the short-list. Break The Silence and his yard are in great form but he was only third behind Noble Ballad over 7f here in August and is worse off at the weights. Mach One has been going well but how he'll handle the switch to Fibresand is anybody's guess. Wardy is unexposed so could be worth a market check but MONSIEUR JIMMY (NAP) thrives here and showed he stays the mile last time when only a pound lower.
