In depth
Verdict
Another modest contest and it would be no surprise to see a shock result. Glistening Silver is a tentative choice, having run well in a seller on his debut and being from a yard whose runners seem to be better for an outing this term. Red Fred has already scored this term but seems fully exposed, but Amanda Louise (from the yard that won the opener here yesterday) has to be respected and could go close. Gin is a likely outsider having showed speed on his debut and any market move would be significant.
