SILVER SWORD has dropped to an attractive mark and hails from a yard going through a good spell, so he's well worth another chance to build on an encouraging run at York 2 starts back. City of Poets had the run of the race when runner-up at Lingfield in September, but further progress can't be ruled out after just a handful of runs, with the class-dropping Epictetus completing the shortlist.
