In depth
Verdict
This is little better than a seller and nothing stands out as a really confident selection. Therefore, it is as much in hope as it is in expectation that Silent Snipe runs up to something like his best. Auburn Spirit, Sir Robbo and No Sam No are all capable of getting involved at this level and can push the selection all the way to the finish. But Silent Snipe is holding his form well at the moment and he arrives here with the edge on recent form. The one nagging doubt is that he has not always been the best of travellers and is yet to win a race away from the north of England. However, they don't come much weaker than this so Silent Snipe has good chance to come out as the best of this bad bunch.
