Midnight Silver (6/4), Grace Tara (5/2), Chilli Romance (4/1), Boutan (7/1), Westerbee (8/1)

A chase career for MIDNIGHT SILVER appears to have been abandoned for now, with connections seemingly seeing this race as a good opportunity to record another success over the smaller obstacles. She is vulnerable over this shorter trip (from a higher mark), but is unbeaten in two starts at this track, so it would be no surprise to see Sam Twiston-Davies attempt to put her proven stamina to good use by jumping out and making all. Grace Tara is the most obvious danger from a fair opening handicap mark of 115. 1. Midnight Silver 2. Grace Tara 3. Westerbee
