Verdict
CAT SILVER has run three times over a mile which has looked too short. He was returning from almost a year off at Chelmsford last month and looks sure to do better so gets the nod. Torch easily won a Nottingham maiden over a mile in July but hasn't really gone on as expected while Ocean Eleven's first success came at Chelmsford in a lower-class event and he's 3lb higher, though he does hold subsequent Brighton winner Bridge Of Sighs on that run. So Celebre went up 7lb for winning in this class at Salisbury and may not have been suited by Epsom on his next start while Ocean Ready has a 6lb penalty for last week's victory at Kempton where he only got on top in the closing stages over that 1m3f.
