Ralph Becket doesn't send many here so top weight Silver Ridge is interesting. He's lightly raced and was taking on decent opposition at Doncaster on his latest start in June. Lady Of The House is also lightly raced and was sent off favourite at Carlisle last time while Sharaarah has her sights lowered a little and could figure. The others are pretty much exposed but there are grounds for thinking that RAT CATCHER will find a bit more improvement now tackling 6f and he won his maiden here earlier this summer. He looks a better bet than stablemate Annie Gogh and can land this.
