Verdict
Silver Chancelor,Gollinger and The Miner are three against the field in a tough race to call for punters and the narrow vote is given to Silver Chancelor. The selection was a fair fifth behind Mohayer last time out but with the step up in trip likely to bring about signifficant improvement he looks the one to be on. Gollinger rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Black Chalk but he has had plenty of chances off sinmilar marks without taking one and is taken on with this in mind. The Milner is another that could go well on his best form but he is becomming hard to win with. Lost In Normandy has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price while Innisfree would have a chance if his jumping holds up but for the winner we return to Silver Chancelor.
