In depth
Verdict
A wide open contest gets proceedings underway and many have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Wilfred, Silencio and Orion Express and the vote goes to Wilfred. The selection was a fair second behind Nocatee last time, this looks easier and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Silencio rates the main danger he won well last time when defeating Looks The Business and but he has a penalty for that win and that may just catch him out. Orion Express is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but he has looked triples on the flat so he can not be backed with any confidence. Of the remainder Valiant Air was a fair sort on the flat but he does not look to stay this trip and for the winner we return to Wilfred.
