Race preview
Silent Encore placed over an extended 2m7f at Huntingdon in March and he warrants respect dropping down in trip off a 3lb higher mark, but a chance is taken on the race-fit GO TO COURT. Joanne Foster's mare has been sliding down the handicap and she may improve both for cutting back in distance and for the application of first-time cheekpieces. Having top conditional Danny McMenamin aboard claiming 3lb is another positive. Northern Bound also merits consideration on his chasing bow.
