Silver Shoon, Brae Hill, Bushranger and Moss Likely make most appeal in the finale and the vote is given to SILVER SHOON. The selection hails from the Dermot Weld yard and she has certainly looked the part in each of her three runs in Ireland so far. She was only narrowly beaten in a Listed contest at the Curragh last time and from a middle draw this unexposed type can take all the beating. Brae Hill was an emphatic winner at Leciester last time when he beat Liturgical and this colt from the Michael Bell yard is entitled to plenty of respect from his favourable low draw. Bushranger has only had the one run but David Wachman's colt did win nicely on his debut at Tipperary and connections clearly think plenty of him. He is one to note in the market, while Moss Likely won a decent race at Newbury last time and is another that has to enter calculations. She's A Shaw Thing, Mullionmileanhour, Dabbers Chief and Effort are others all worth a mention but in a race where the market may provide the clues, we will side with Silver Shoon as the pick.
