In depth
Verdict
Silver Ace is chanced against Won More Night and Mr Joe Platinum. Silver Ace was nicely backed on debut and while ultimately disappointing, the fact that Peter Bowen is only sending one runner here could be enough to get us following in again. Won More Night hails from a yard that are in form so must be respected if any money is seen trackside. Mr Joe Platinum was a tad disappointing last time out but can be anticipated to have come on for the run. What A Biscuit will bid to reverse form. Shade Bonny looks best of the rest. Silver Ace is a speculative selection in the absence of market information.
