In depth
Verdict
SILENT SPEECH is likely to prove a warm order in this having missed out by only a neck at Newcastle on last month’s debut. Six lengths clear of the rest, the Godolphin colt can open his account. Macchiavello steps up in distance on the back of a decent debut over 6f at Redcar but Pangloss drops down in trip after finishing a lot closer here last time. Aussie Banker showed some progress over track and trip last time with King Of War perhaps best of the rest.
