Unraced on soft/heavy; fairly consistent during this season's spell with Dominic Ffrench Davis and came from off the pace to open account on recent stable debut at Hereford (2m5f, good); effectively only 4lb higher under his 7lb penalty and commands respect.

Although frustrating, he hasn't run too badly on either start since going up in trip considering he's failed to settle; has changed hands since just over 7l sixth of 13 at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) last month on final start for Dominic Ffrench Davis; 3lb out of the handicap but remains of interest.

Verdict

Nicky Henderson’s runner By The Grace was second on her debut at Southwell but that form isn’t anything to get excited about and preference is for Sir Mark Prescott’s newcomer SOLID SILVER, who has AW winners in her pedigree. Seaside Legend bled from the nose and was below form on his second outing but has a significant role to play if all is well here, while The Glen Rovers has a striking Flat pedigree and also makes the shortlist.[Chris Wilson]
