SILENT KNIGHT has been raised a massive 16lb for last month's victory at Worcester but can still complete the hat-trick as he's an improving stayer. Listen And Learn hasn't fired so far this summer but a return to form wouldn't be a shock. Master Of The Hall finished ahead of him over 2m5f here last month, however, though has been well beaten since. Provincial Pride may be too high in the weights now and wouldn't want any rain while the lightly-raced Ereyna needs to improve again on her Towcester success.
