Verdict

Angel Rock, Once a Gulch and Noble Citizen are all sure to have their supporters but we will take a chance and side with SILENT MASTER. Mark Johnston's colt was only narrowly beaten by Fiefdom last time and with the yard in cracking form he could be worth another chance. Angel Rock is an obvious danger as he showed a game attitude to come out on top at Great Leighs last month. He has had his problems but he does not lack for ability and he should go well Once A Gulch failed to run up to expectations on his handicap debut, but he was well supported in the market that day and it will be interesting to see if the money arrives again today. Noble Citizen won well last time and is another to consider. However, we will stick Silent Master as the pick.
