SILVER SAMURAI ran well when runner-up on seasonal debut and he can go one better by taking this three-year-old only handicap. The selection is taken to see off his rivals here with recent AW winner Swinley Forest capable of claiming second spot on his return to turf while third place can go to top weight Count Of Amazonia who can put a below par seasonal reappearance behind him.
