    Verdict

    This looks quite trappy and from a shortlist of SILVER GRECIAN, Toga Tiger and Abandagold we will side with Silver Grecian. The selection was well backed on his debut when he beat Lean Machine at Newmarket. He looked like a colt to stay on the right side of that day and if he improves for that introduction to the racecourse then he should prove tough to beat. Toga Tiger chased home Coloursoftheglen at Lingfield last time, form that was franked at Wolverhampton on Tuesday so on that basis he would have to enter calculations. Abandagold won a maiden at Chester last month to open her account at the fourth time of asking. That was an improved effort but she will have to continue on an upward curve to make her mark in this company. Tom Dascombe does well with his sprinters so Apostle Of Rome could be of interest on his racecourse debut, but Silver Grecian sets a decent standard and he looks set to run a big race.
