Verdict

SILVER HALLMARK isn't seen very often, but he quickly proved himself a useful chaser last season and looked as good as ever on his Carlisle return, so he makes plenty of appeal now stepping up to 3m for the first time in a handicap. Debece shaped very well at Sandown in March and looks interesting returning after another breathing operation, with Empire Steel and Good Boy Bobby also shortlisted.

  1. SILVER HALLMARK
  2. DEBECE
  3. EMPIRE STEEL (IRE)
