Verdict
Silverheels continues to find at least one too good and patience has run out with him while George Guru is still struggling for his best despite sliding down the weights. ILLUSIVE won a maiden at Leopardstown for Ballydoyle last term and has since joined the Cecil yard. There should be more to come from him this year and he gets the nod ahead of last month's Lingfield winner Chelwood Gate, who steps up in class. Taqneen looks another likely improver and Knight Owl is not badly weighted on last year's Redcar win.
