Out of the money and beaten 8l in the Grade 1 Paddock Stakes at Kenilworth last month; admirable career strike-rate (four from 16 to date); this represents an easier task than her previous race; can make a decent bid as finished second in December.

Good effort when close up with Radicchio just behind 20 days ago in a Listed handicap race; impressive record of three wins from ten runs here; certainly not out of it if confirming promise shown last time and he can handle the step up in class.

Successful eight times from 23 career runs but all his victories have been gained at a lower level; not far behind Son Of Raj when fourth in a Listed handicap race upped to this distance last month; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role as facing tougher company.

Did it nicely upped to 1m2f 35 days ago in a stakes race; course specialist who has won three times here and proven that she knows how to get her head in front (seeking a seventh win); likely to be involved despite being up in class.

Produced an encouraging effort (second of seven, beaten just over 2l) last month in a Listed race; all her wins achieved at a lower level; faces a tougher assignment this time so others more persuasive.

Successful by just over 2l last month in a handicap; three wins from eight runs here but has never won a race of this value; this demands more than last time so can be taken on.

Verdict

SILVER SANCTUARY is expected to get the job done. She will not find this as challenging as the Paddock Stakes six weeks ago and is proven at the trip. Son Of Raj has winning form over C&D.
