In depth

Verdict

SILVER ACCORD is unexposed and can improve on his run last time when he found just one too good. Oliver Sherwood's runner should build on that first run back and with just 3lb extra to carry looks one of the better weighted. Crystal Prince showed some temperament when refusing to race two starts back but was only just denied last time and if in the same mood can go well from 6lb higher in the weights. Ready Or Not ran well in defeat off this rating when last seen but might need this run while Oncle Kid is in with a chance on the pick of his form but he often doesn't complete so Silver Accord looks the safest option.
