Verdict
Picture No Sound was not beaten far at Carlisle last time but has been drawn wide along with stablemate and newcomer Gabrial The Saint. Finnion Fox has had no luck with the draw either while Gabrials Centurion never figured over 7f here a fortnight ago. But SHAYA just missed out over the minimum trip at Chepstow recently and, with today’s longer distance likely to suit, Roger Fell’s filly makes most appeal in this.
