Forecasts

Silkstone (11/4), Chess Player (3/1), Gorham's Cave (9/2), Swilly Sunset (8/1), Glimpse Of Gold (10/1), Mawlood (11/1), Pasley (11/1), Gabrielle Du Seuil (11/1), Bolt N Brown (18/1), First Class Return (22/1), Letsbe Avenue (40/1), Derek Duval (50/1)

Verdict

SILKSTONE has come down 10 lb in his last 3 starts and looks worth chancing for his in-form stable after shaping a bit better than the result at Market Rasen. Gorham's Cave rates an obvious danger after going down only to a next-time-out winner over C&D last time. Gabrielle du Seuil and Chess Player are possible improvers in handicaps.

  1. SILKSTONE (IRE)
  2. GORHAM'S CAVE
  3. GABRIELLE DU SEUIL (FR)
