Verdict
The lightly weighted Sharaby is selected here. In-form Kindlelight Debut and Silent Storm are expected to pose the most problems. That said, Future Deal does not have too much to find to get competitive for one of the places and is worth monitoring for signs of support. Silent Storm won well at Lingfield on his penultimate start and, as a previous course winner, he has to be respected. He was a little disappointing at Goodwood when he was last seen out, though and his supporters will have to forgive him that effort. The return to an artificial surface is in his favour and he can go close if he does not spoil his chance by running too freely in the early stages. Kindlelight Debut has been holding his form well lately and will also be a leading player if his recent exertions have not taken their toll. It is worth bearing in mind that he is set to carry a 7lb penalty and is upped in grade slightly before wading in with him. Especially as there looks to be more to come from Sharaby, who was not disgraced when finishing third on her debut at this course last month. The daughter of Cadeaux Genereaux has won off this mark in the past and, with a very handy 8lb weight-for-age allowance, she has a cracking chance at the weights tonight.
