20/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 27 days ago. Capable of a bold show back on turf, having found just one too good off a 3 lb higher mark on deep ground at Newbury in October.

Age: 3|  Weight: 9-7| J: Jonny Peate(7)| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR:  75
Promising sort. 10/3, third of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (5f) on final start at 2 yrs, unsuited by drop in trip. Return to 6f will suit on return for new yard and his opening mark looks fair.

Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 9 in nursery (14/1) at Lingfield (5f, AW) when last seen in September. Gelded since and while he's not one to give up on just yet, a significant step forward is needed.

Silent Flame11
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-10| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: B R Millman| OR:  64| D
Lightly-raced winner. 10/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Salisbury (6f, soft) 11 days ago. This 6 lb mark should be within reach and she's very appealing.

Forecasts

Silent Flame (11/4), Lion Ring (9/2), Keep Right On (6/1), Chipstead (7/1), Marlay Park (7/1), Major Force (8/1), Et Tu Brute (8/1), The Waterman (14/1), Shanghai Rock (16/1)

Verdict

The one who appeals most is SILENT FLAME, who stepped up on her all-weather exploits when making a winning handicap/turf debut under similar conditions at Salisbury, form which was boosted on Saturday when the runner-up won well at Lingfield. The booking of Andrea Atzeni is another positive factor. Irish-import Lion Ring and Chipstead are both open to improvement and rate the main dangers.
