Forecasts

Lined With Silver (11/8), Spock (4/1), Get Ready Freddy (11/2), No No Cardinal (6/1), Champagne Benefit (7/1), Triggywinkle (7/1), Bouggietopieces (8/1), Sussex Road (11/1)

Verdict

LINED WITH SILVER is the only one in this with a progressive profile having finished runner up to Jaunty Inflight here a week ago. That rival is better than these and a similar performance would be good enough to take this. Triggywinkle needs this trip and ground so she has everything in her favour whilst Bouggietopieces is worth a market check on debut for an in form yard.
