BELATED SILVER is given the narrow vote over Ray Of Joy and It's A Game in this nursery handicap. Tom Dascombe's colt is making his all-weather debut here but there was plenty to like about his last run at Yarmouth when he was only narrowly beaten by Lovely Thought. He remains unexposed and he looks to hold solid claims. Ray Of Joy has got winning form over this trip but all her best form is over 6f and on that basis she looks worth taking on. It's A Game left her previous form behind to win at Kempton over 6f last time and the form has been franked so she has to enter calculations. Black N Brew is a consistent type and this colt could again be booked for a place. Belated Silver is our choice though to land the gold.
