Another tough race to call here for punters with many in form rivals in opposition including Mark Equal, Silent Sound and Cyanara and the tentative vote goes to Silent Sound. The seven year old from the Colin Tizzard yard won well over course and distance last time out when defeating Jupon Vert and although he has risen in the weights he is taken to score again with conditions in his favour. Mark Equal rates the main danger on his latest second behind Manawanui but he is not the most consistent so for that reason he is opposed. Cyanara is also worthy of respect she was third behind Tucasca last time but she only has one win to her name in 27 attempts. Of the remainder Tirley Storm is game and consistent but his best form is over a longer trip, while Adalie is a shadow of his former self so we are happy to side with Silent Sound.
