A smashing renewal of this early-season feature and, having built up a solid record at this venue last term, STOLEN SILVER gets the nod to land the prize on return. He powered to the line when landing the Silver Trophy on his final start in April, and a 7 lb higher mark ought not prevent another bold bid. David Pipe's Umbrigado, on the back of a win over hurdles, is also fancied to go well in first-time blinkers, with Irish-raider French Dynamite, Il Ridoto and Ga Law completing the shortlist.
