Verdict

If IL SILENZIO can translate anything like his chase form this summer back to the smaller obstacles he should take a bit of stopping from his lower mark in this sphere. Shark Hanlon's Pure Logic rates an obvious danger after a string of good efforts in recent months. Boomerang Breeze is a potential improver in handicaps and is also shortlisted along with Bobby Kirova.
