These are a modest bunch but Silver Dragon has won a race, though hasn't shown much since. LA BELLE SAUVAGE has had her problems but her third over 2m here in December was a better effort and the extra half-mile shouldn't be a problem. Kim Bailey's mare gets the nod to open her account ahead of Market Rasen runner-up Swing State and top weight Wayne Manor. Oscar's Pet and Icanmotor have hinted at ability but aren't exactly reliable.
