BREAK THE SILENCE has won three times over the course and distance and has just failed to hold on over a mile the last twice. He's never won from a mark this high but it will be a surprise if he doesn't get involved. Suitcase 'n' Taxi has never run on an artificial surface but has been in very good form on Turf so must be respected while Fly True has won three times here though twice finished behind the selection in the summer. Bee Machine is also held on form here in August while Declamation has shown little since landing a Lingfield seller in December.
