Verdict
DARK SILVER sets the standard off a mark of 73 and may prove good enough back in novice company. Narrowly beaten in a handicap at Wolverhampton a week ago, he gets the vote. Badri will need to improve on last year’s form to figure but that looks likely fitted with a tongue-tie on his return while Bring The Money was placed over the minimum trip last month and has an apprentice’s allowance helping his cause today. Lucky Beau lost a shoe at Wolverhampton on his debut and should finish closer while Blue Cable is speedily-bred and is a newcomer to note.
