Verdict

Silver Inngot gets the call ahead of Spring Lover in this four-runner affair. There can be no doubt that the selection looked an improved performer when scoring over course and distance under similar conditions last time. Turned out under a penalty, he is still well-weighted based on his assessment for the future and, if he remains in the same heart, he should go well. Spring Margot is also set for a rise in the ratings and was a winner everywhere bar the winning line at Ludlow last time. He must be given every chance today, particularly as this sharper track will probably suit. Mulligatawny seems to have lost the plot since winning at Huntingdon in February, although he is now just a pound above that winning mark and he will love the testing conditions, and much as Tregastel put in an improved effort last time, he will have to improve again to get the better of Spring Lover and Silver Inngot, of which we prefer the claims of Silver Inngot.
