SILVER GHOST has been competing in better company than this since landing a hat-trick during the summer with a cosy win at Sandown. He wasn’t beaten far in a Class 2 contest last time and should confirm earlier running with Compton Mill ,despite worse terms. Indian Chief may struggle in this grade off his current mark and most of the remainder race from out of the weights. That list includes Jack Of Diamonds, who won over a shorter trip at Wolverhampton last time, and Duck Egg Blue, usually placed without winning.
