Verdict
This looks the weaker of the two divisions. DEIMOS, a half-brother to a Listed winner in Ireland, could complete a quick double for Kevin Ryan as Silent Move was only fifth when second favourite over 6f at York in June. Foreign Exchange only beat one home at Nottingham and Quintus Maximus requires significant improvement on his two runs to date.
