In depth
Verdict
Silvertown, Rayshan and Transit are three against the field in a tight handicap and the vote goes to Silvertown. The selection won well last time out over course and distance when defeating Bodfari Signet and although he is rising in the weights he has won off a higher mark before and under conditions that suit he is taken to win again, Rayshan rates the main danger as he is unexposed over hurdles and was a fair second behind Presumptuous when last seen. However he looks a tricky ride and for that reason he is passed over on this occasion. Transit is also worthy of respect on his latest second behind King Revo as the front two were well clear of the third on that occasion,but he is becoming hard to win with and for that reason is over looked.Bodfari Signet was behind the selection last time and although he is better off at the weights he still has a little to find. Of the remainder Avitta is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Silvertown who is proven under conditions.
