SILCA BAY is still relatively unexposed on turf and shaped as if still at the top of his game when a luckless fourth at Sandown earlier in the month. He makes most appeal ahead of Mythical Guest, who went with plenty of encouragement from the front at Ascot last week, with Astrazar completing the 1-2-3.
