      Verdict

      Minellaforlunch, a recent runner up here, is sure to be popular in this with his yard going well. But SILVER DRAGON (NAP) is two from two at this venue and showed enough, after a lengthy absence, at Wetherby to suggest he can win again off his current mark. He's A Hawker has also won around here but his claims on recent form are less obvious while it's been a long time since Bredon Hill Lad produced a worthwhile effort over hurdles or fences.
