Verdict
Silverhay, Takes Tutu and Exit Smiling look the players and we shall take a chance about Silverhay. Nicely backed prior to his most recent appearance at Pontefract - Silverhay unfortunately pulled too hard in the early stages and wasted plenty of energy in the process. He has won here in the past though and if Shane Kelly can win the early battle - there has to be a chance of recouping the Ponty losses. Takes Tutu continues to make hay off his low BHB rating. He had been desperately out of form for a long time but the seven-year-old didn't do a lot wrong at Pontefract on Wednesday and can take a hand in this race. Exit Smiling looks to have improved since leaving the Greg Chung yard but backers are advised that the all-weather specialist has been beaten off this mark on turf in the past. Threezedzz threatens to win races over a mile and it is likely that plenty of use will be made of him here. Latif and Time To Regret both have to contend with career high marks this afternoon. A tough race and Silverhay gets the nod.
