This is wide-open and only a speculative vote goes the way of topweight SILVERWARE. He's dropping down in class and beat Berlusca in this grade last month. The latter has since finished ahead of Lean On Pete, while Suehail and Eurystheus landed lower grade handicaps last time and Off The Pulse is just preferred on his recent defeat of Halfsin. Investment Expert scored at Windsor back in October and Mrs Micawber is upped 8lb after picking up a Class 6 contest here three weeks ago.
