Of the newcomers in this Keep The Silence, who is the first foal of a mare who won four times up to 1m2f, is possibly the most interesting ahead of the sprint-bred Pensax Lady, but trainer James Tate also runs the twice-raced Pirate's Treasure, who looks the stable selection on jockey bookings. However, Richard Hannon has started the New Year with a bang and his WAR GLORY (NAP) showed enough when second on debut over track and trip to suggest he can go one better today. Joyful Day was only beaten a length on Fibresand last time and wasn't disgraced here earlier so has place claims again but the others have some improving to do.
