Verdict

Silver Kitten has tumbled down the weights and placed at Redcar last time but it could pay to stick with VOLENTI. The latter left his previous form on the all-weather behind when returning the surprise winner over track and trip on his debut on the Turf and should have more to offer on this surface. Smarden Flyer has only raced on the all-weather so far and went close at Kempton back in May while Lelabad can do better back on faster going today and Essencial has returned to a winning mark.
