Verdict: LASTING SILENCE rates a strong recommendation. He could cash in if the leaders go too fast, while Aim Don't Miss, True Shot and Night Striker could run well too.

Comment: Was held in ninth last month (bobbled at the start) in a maiden optional claimer; shown he can be competitive fairly recently and has to be taken seriously.

Comment: Has kicked on in his last couple of races; runner-up, beaten 3½l, in a maiden claimer in front of Feels Like A Kylla last month; in with a big shout given several of his rivals have questions to answer.

Comment: Yet to win after 17 starts but has arguably shown improved form the last twice; didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 4l) in a maiden claimer last month upped to 1m½f; finished ahead of Calling Home but was behind Arrakasta Izan; warrants respect given that not many of these impressed last time out.

Comment: Minor honours when 13-8 upped to 1m½f last month in a claimer; patchy form recently but one-time useful operator; leading claims if confirming promise shown last time.

Comment: Far from disgraced (beaten just under 2l) over 6f here (claimer) when separating a number of reopposing rivals 15 days ago; quite a while since he tasted success and may not have any more improvement left; others appeal more as has a lot on his plate here.
