Verdict

Some quite interesting novices here but SILENT MOVIE will be all the better for a course and distance second on debut and faces the same forecast conditions now. He should come on plenty for that run and his yard continue to enjoy a tremendous summer, including the delivery of 10 winners in the past 12 days. Number One London looks the main danger after sticking on well to score at Newton Abbot on just his second start over timber. He'll improve again but may find it tough with his penalty against the selection. Are They Your Own was distinctly below par last time but is respected on his two penultimate efforts and makes the shortlist.
