Forecasts

Silver Darling (2/1), Navy Strength (5/2), Somerset Maugham (10/3), Han Solo (7/2), Master Redoute (4/1), Silver Host (8/1)

SILVER DARLING is the tentative selection but hasn't much room for error. Master Redoute has the best credentials of the rest, while Somerset Maugham also needs a closer look.
