Darraghs Day is the only course and distance winner though that was in April 2011. Silver Chief has never won on the Flat and only once over hurdles so looks to have plenty of weight. Noble Call is still a maiden after 26 starts though he's dropped to a fair mark and ran his best race for some time behind Ned's Indian here last week while another long-time maiden, The Frog Prince, couldn't go much lower in the ratings. Timjoe had been in good form on the level before a poor run over timber last month. He had earlier finished runner-up over the track and trip with Well Insured, Fiftyshadesofred and SETTLE FOR RED behind but the latter appears to have made progress subsequently and is given the nod in a tricky event.
