Verdict

An interesting opener where the percentage call is to side with SILVER OCEAN. Ralph Beckett's gelding drops back to the minimum trip after going close in a Kempton seller last time over 6f, racing as if the minimum distance would not be an issue, and we hope that his experience can help to see him through. Look Who's Kool is a threat if able to go on from a decent run when trying to make all at Wolverhampton, while Loved To Bits has invaluable experience around here and has been given time to improve for her June debut. Money for her, or newcomers Pearl Ice and Lucky Royale, from in-form yards, would be interesting.
