Forecasts

Sunny Orange (6/5), Silencer (11/5), Lulworth Cove (5/1), Papabella (7/1), Rocking Ends (20/1)

SILENCER was picked up by top connections for a six-figures sum at the Breeze-Ups and should be well readied for this debut, so he gets the marginal vote over Sunny Orange, who justified support in comfortable fashion on debut at Leicester in April. Pababella is also considered.
