Forecasts

Noisy Music (7/2), Silent Flame (9/2), Lihou (11/2), High Violet (6/1), Crafty Spirit (13/2), Sovereign Slipper (15/2), Golden Duke (11/1), Tiger Trap (22/1), Ultramarine (28/1), Toussarok (40/1), Perianth (50/1)

Verdict

SOVEREIGN SLIPPER provided his trainer with his only success this year at Chepstow last month and with that effort worth marking up (only one to make up any ground from the rear), he gets the nod to go in again at the expense of Silent Flame, who is going through a good spell at present. Crafty Spirit can edge out Lihou for the bronze medal.
