Muqarred won easily over track and trip last month but has been raised 8lb and BREAK THE SILENCE is preferred. The latter completed a double over 7f here with last month’s success and this longer trip is not a problem for Scott Dixon’s charge. Bond Angel has past form on the Fibresand while Makambe scored at Kempton last time and French Twist and Dreamseller are recent winners at Wolverhampton. My Amigo has tumbled down the weights and finished runner-up at Chelmsford last week and Ambersand is the least exposed.
