Several interesting contenders in his mile handicap with Gerry The Glover and Cat Silver both having plenty to recommend them in their own way. Last year’s winner Balmoral Castle should also be respected as he’s always gone well here and Mister Music whilst looking vulnerable off this mark should run his usual consistent race. SELECTION catches the eye in this though, coming from a yard that do really well with this type and the 6lb rise for his last win doesn’t look particularly harsh given the manner of his win.
