Verdict
Silent Blessing is better than his recent outing over C&D would suggest and has every chance if producing his best. Mujapiste finished ahead of him in sixth-place last time but more is needed here and preference goes to VERUS DECORUS, who was fourth in the same race. That was her racecourse debut and nominal improvement would be enough to see her get off the mark in this contest. The betting may offer the best clue to the chances of newcomer Mazovian.
