SILVER RIDGE ran well despite finding one too good over 7f at Doncaster last time. He was an easy winner in soft ground at Windsor over today's trip before that and can return to winning ways here. Front Page News also won, at Chester, last time and should figure if handling the ground while the same comment applies to Risky Rizkova, a winner at Bath on his racecourse debut. Pasaka Boy was well beaten at Royal Ascot last time but it was testing ground when he scored over C&D last month and he looks the chief threat to the selection.
