      Verdict

      Newcastle winner Silent Hunter makes his handicap debut on his reappearance and Thibaan returns to action having won over track and trip last year and undergone wind surgery subsequently. Both should be noted for any support but FIEROSPEED has shown good progress on the all-weather and bids for a hat-trick only 2lb higher than when scoring at Lingfield a fortnight ago. The Hannon colt looks worth sticking with in this while Highwaygrey is preferred to the struggling Wait Forever of the remainder.
