Verdict
Silver Ghost bids for a hat-trick raised a further 3lb after winning at Goodwood and going in again at Epsom. EYNHALLOW also won at Goodwood earlier but scored with a bit in hand over track and trip last week. His ability to handle soft going has to be taken on trust but Roger Charlton’s charge has scope for further progress and gets the vote to defy a penalty. Inke has a shout back on soft going today but High Draw only won a claimer in France last time and the likes of Start Seven, Artful Rogue and Caponova all look high enough in the weights.
