In depth
Verdict
L'Oiseau D'Argent is a most progressive type having won two of his three starts and remains open to plenty of improvement. Sir Michael Stoute's charge is best served by a strong pace over this trip and is the TEAMtalk selection to follow up a game success in a conditions event at Doncaster last month. Where Or When has been taking on the very best company of late but is likely to find the return to a mile an inadequate test while Al Moughazel does not look good enough and both Flat Spin and Sweet Band are becoming disappointing.
