WILD HACKED showed enough in a couple of starts last year to suggest he can win at this level. He was a close-up third at Kempton in November while Silent Attack failed to land the odds on his racecourse debut at the same track in September. Silk Cravat also returns to action having not been beaten far at Leicester on last year’s debut while Major Assault has the more recent form with a placed effort at Lingfield in March. Khor Al Udaid and Lexington Law can only improve and Idyllic, On The Bill and Cliff Edge are newcomers to keep an eye on.
