Verdict
Silver Line returns to action 10lb higher than when scoring at Nottingham last year while Fleeting Prince has yet to win a handicap, though was beaten less than a length when only fourth at Doncaster. ALJARI makes more appeal having now won four of eight starts on the all-weather after scoring at Newcastle last time. Another bold bid is expected with Cry Havoc needing to take a step forward in this higher grade and Sanaadh not having raced since winning at Newcastle in February.
