Silver Guest has a high rating and if he runs up to anywhere near his rating then he will take some beating; Art Exhibition and Complete Frontline look to be the more obvious dangers. The selection has a series of very good placings besides his name, including only being beaten 2 lengths in the Norfolk at Ascot in June. Assuming that he has progressed physically over the winter and has trained on then he should be hard to beat. Rather than face the impossible in handicaps off this lofty mark, the decision to try maiden company again is wise. Art Exhibition showed a hint of ability on debut and improvement can be expected from this Captain Rio colt, with the step up in trip likely to suit. Sunley Smiles should have learnt from her debut, whilst Usetheforce and Mileaminutemurphy represent strong yards and need checks in the betting. A good opportunity it seems for Silver Guest to get off the mark.
