Zen Silence is dropping down to the minimum for the first time but has been showing plenty of pace so should get involved at the business end. Baltinglass Abbey looked a likely future winner when beaten less than a length in a 6f nursery here but disappointed on a return visit. STOP ON RED led at this trip when scoring over 7f here in November so is taking a big drop in trip. He's also 5lb out of the handicap but that was an improved run and further progress can see him go in again. Oh So Woke has shown good speed over 6f here and may prove best of the remainder on her handicap debut.
