Verdict
Cat Silver makes a belated reappearance having gone close at Kempton in November last year. CURRICULUM was progressing well but ran poorly wearing a hood at Chepstow last time and the headgear is left off today. He gets another chance in this with Paper Faces making most appeal of the others with experience. Of the newcomers, Spring Of Hope is a half-brother to a winner on the all-weather and preferred to Wealth Tax and Phileas Fogg.
