Verdict

Turtle Tim was all out to win between the flags at Upcott Cross 12 days ago but Will Biddick is a significant jockey booking here. Double Bank and Bermuda Boy are entitled to be thereabouts and Steeltown has won his last two point-to-points. Diamond Eclipse would have a chance on his best form while Numbercruncher also enters the equation. SILVER TOKEN beat Bermuda Boy by 16 lengths at Ffos Las last month. He ran the useful Findlays Find to five lengths between the flags last Saturday and appears to have the best form in this.
