A poor contest here and Silver Dagger may provide the answer, with No Sam No and Delaware likely to chase him home. The selection is not exactly in top form at present, but he is at least dropping down the handicap to somewhere near a winning mark. Coming from the connections he does, and with McCoy up, they may feel he has a chance again here. No Sam No thrashed the selection last time, although much of that margin can be put down to the jockey losing his irons at the last flight. That was a similarly weak contest at Worcester and with a drop in the weights for Silver Dagger and a rise for No Sam No the form can be reversed provided no such bad luck occurs. Lucky Nomad and King's Mountain probably look capable of battling out third place, but for the winner we will take a chance to Silver Dagger to kill them off.
