Verdict

David Nicholls has a good record in these types of races this term and with SONNY RED also clearly the best horse in the race based on the official ratings that record can improve. Only just held in the Ayr Silver Cup the selection should make light work of these despite conceding weight to all. The only 'danger' appears to be Titus Andronicus who drops into this grade for the first time and his run off 82 in August gives him a squeak. Hypnosis should make the places on these terms but this should be easy for Sonny Red.
