Verdict

IL SILENZIO has looked a much-improved performer since being sent chasing and did well to overcome a troubled passage when scoring at Roscommon last month. A 7 lb rise doesn’t look excessive and, with more to come, he makes plenty of appeal. Set The Tone shaped well last time and remains well treated on his hurdles form, so rates the main danger, while the progressive Ladies Well is another to consider.

  1. IL SILENZIO
