Silent Echo has a tough task giving weight all round but is still expected to be in the firing-line after finishing a close-up eighth in the Stewards' Cup. Among several unlucky that day, he remains a handicap sprinter to keep on the right side. Recent course winner Quench Dolly is also respected towards the head of the weights but SHAHEEN is a three year-old sprinter to follow and just receives the vote in a competitive heat. He didn't get the clearest of passages when fourth on Shergar Cup day behind useful types and had previously displayed a telling turn of foot to score over course and distance. Hopefully the gaps will appear at the right time for those tactics to be replicated. Mobsta, Kimifive and Cowboy Soldier are also worth noting in a cracking contest.
