Six Silver Lane has been sent to Scotland for his two recent victories and isn't overburdened on his return here - he has a tremendous strike-rate and should be involved again. The Godolphin-owned Golden Raven showed the benefit of a promising debut at Navan last month when returning there a couple of weeks later to land a maiden in good style. Toccata Blue has only had four runs this year but has been running well and was staying on stoutly over 7f here last month. WEXFORD OPERA comes here with a penalty after Tuesday's victory at the Curragh, a deserved victory after some good runs in tough handicaps, and Jim Bolger's charge can complete a quick double.
