Verdict
Breaking Silence put in a disappointing round at this track last month when a well-beaten fifth and has something to find on earlier running with OFFSHORE ACCOUNT. The latter finished an excellent third to Baby Run in the Fox Hunters' at Aintree earlier this month and he'll take all the beating here if running up to that level of form. Sprosser never figured on his return from a lengthy absence and has yet to prove he retains his ability, while Rustic John and Silly Wupple have shown little to recommend them of late.
