SOUND AND SILENCE is penalised for winning a Group 3 sprint in France last month but has already beaten several of these including runner-up Abel Handy at York in August. The Godolphin colt also got the better of To Wafij and Angel Force on the Knavesmire and looks the one to beat on that form. Mokaatil failed to land the odds on the all-weather earlier but made no mistake in a maiden at Ripon while Ballydoyle’s Battle Of Jericho came up just short over 7f in Listed company at Dundalk and drops down to the minimum trip for the first time. Pursuing The Dream won a Listed race in France earlier but struggled in the Flying Childers at Doncaster last month and the remainder have even more to find.
