Verdict

Having created a good impression at Catterick on Rules debut, SILVER FLYER posted a solid effort when second at Carlisle last time. The return to a left-handed (jumped that way at Carlisle) course should suit, so he gets the nod over the other penalised runner, Lupus Regem, who may yet have more to offer. A back-in-form Ask The Doc could also get involved.

  1. SILVER FLYER
  2. LUPUS REGEM
  3. ASK THE DOC (IRE)
