It’s quite possible that Silent Steps could follow-up her good second here last time out on her chasing debut and put an end to her frustrating run of runner-up slots with the cheekpieces going on for the first time. She may not have things all her own way and with Cap Horner and the disappointing Roll The Dough in the field there may be scope to look at something at slightly more inviting odds here. INDY FIVE has the look and shape of a chaser and if has come on for his return he still looks well handicapped on some of his hurdles form. Sydney De Baune is another who could yet improve on his initial chasing spin given that this test of stamina will be far more to his liking.
