Smart mare. Well-held sixth of 9 to Hamish in Ormonde Stakes (9/1) at Chester (13.4f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Holds very good claims if coming on for that return effort.

22/1

Fairly useful filly. 4/1, creditable second of 5 in handicap at Doncaster (16.5f, good) 21 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Difficult ask in this grade.

Silence Please^v²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR: 101| BF

16/5

Useful mare. Off 7 months/first run since leaving Jessica Harrington when 4 lengths third of 7 to Bartzella in listed race at Goodwood (12f) 22 days ago, badly hampered under 2f out. Visor back on and merits serious consideration.

Form: 72483-3

4/1

Useful mare. Modest eighth of 13 to Goolwa in listed race at Bath (14f) when last seen out 7 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running on her return.

Believe In Love (11/4), Mighty Blue (16/5), Silence Please (16/5), Urban Artist (4/1), Glenartney (7/1), Eileendover (7/1), Sea Sylph (22/1)

SILENCE PLEASE made an encouraging start for Andrew Balding when third in a Goodwood listed event and is fancied to build on it here and deny Roger Varian's Believe In Love, who rates the form pick but needs to come on plenty for her reappearance sixth in Chester's Ormonde Stakes. Irish challenger Mighty Blue appeals as the pick of the remainder.
