In depth
Verdict
Silver Seeker can lead them home form Full As A Rocket and Joe Malone in a competitive amateur riders' event. Twice a winner last season, Silver Seeker ran a blinder on his re-appearance, holding every chance until a blunder at the last flight cost him his chance of victory, but still finishing second. He is a consistent type and must go well having had that pipe opener. Joe Malone ran one of the best races of his career on his seasonal re-appearance at Ludlow, finishing third, staying on at the finish. Still a maiden, he can play a part here. Full As A Rocket showed promise in bumpers, being placed twice before being campaigned without success on the Flat where he was only modest. He won a selling hurdle at Uttoxeter when returned to the winter game but this may be tougher. Silver Seeker looks the one to be on here.
