Verdict
Six of the ten arrive on the back of a win and it's SILVER GUNN (NAP) who is taken to supplement recent gains when running out the ready winner of a decent Windsor handicap. He's due to face optimum conditions of a mile and a quarter on good ground and is the only course and distance winner in the line-up. He should go well. Junkanoo looked to score with plenty to spare last time and it's no surprise to see him upped 7lb but another competitive effort is anticipated. Derry Lad has performed creditably on his last three raids from Ireland and should be in the mix once again after being dropped 1lb for his Haydock third. Auld Toon Loon is enjoying a good time of things this season and is another likely to be involved after running well last time off a higher mark.
