Verdict

Having landed a gamble on his penultimate start, SOUNDS OF SPRING ran another solid race when runner-up at Carlisle (5.8f) 4 weeks ago. Remaining with handicapping scope on old form, he looks a live player again. Silent Flame has been resurgent since blinkers went on and she's a threat if leaving her latest run behind. Recent C&D winner Papabella and Shark Two One are others to consider in a wide-open affair.
