Verdict

Silver Visage may follow up his recent Lingfield success at the expense of Rosapenna, High Rhythm and Goldhill Prince. Silver Visage caused a 40-1 shock when scoring at Lingfield a fortnight ago, but the race was run at a good pace and there seemed to be no fluke about his four length beating of Fantasy Defender under Brian Reilly who has been in good form in the saddle. Better handicapped now than of late, Julia Feilden's charge can follow up. Rosapenna had a wide draw to overcome when third at Catterick and is capable of scoring again, but she has to give weight away all round here which will not be easy even in this company. High Rhythm shaped much better when restrained at Leicester, finishing a close third to Ruby's Dream so is not to be ruled out, while Goldhill Prince is visored for the first time. He still needs to improve enormously though, and we would rather side with Silver Visage.
