Verdict

CHANGING COLOURS (5) looks nicely placed again by the Yeomans yard. She's won two on the bounce, ripping home in fast splits on both occasions with a huge gap to third latest. Should get a nice run midfield again and expect she's just too strong late once more. STAY SILENT (4) is in rare form, winning his past three with tough, on speed performances. He'll be ridden the same again, to try and take the sprint out of a horse like Changing Colours and will give a huge sight. SOMEWHERE (15) continues to race very well without much luck this time in, he got a long way back here last time behind Stay Silent and can certainly challenge with the right run. FEDERER (18) kept closing last week. Turns up on the back up now and he's working towards a peak.
