Some of the more interesting contenders lie towards the foot of the handicap with SILENT ACCOUNT the pick of them having shown enough last time at Worcester where he finished with something in the tank and hinted at better to come. Courtlands Prince is of similar ilk and can be given a chance if he takes to chasing on his debut with Closest Friend another that it’s hard to write off. Opechee appears to be the biggest danger though if his fragile constitution allows him to run as well as he did at Stratford off a 9lb higher mark while Ballycamp is also given a chance if he can reproduce his latest start.
