In depth

Verdict

TALE OF SILVER looks the form pick and can break his maiden tag at the expense of Hel's Angel and Denton Diva. The selection has kept improving with experience and ran a personal best when third of 15 at Newcastle last time out. He looks more than capable of winning a race of this nature and should pursue a successful handicap career thereafter. Hel's Angel is another to note after running well on both starts to date. After finishing third on her debut at a big price she improved to run a closer third of 12 at Redcar. She has ability and it is only a matter of time before she enters the winner's enclosure. Denton Diva is another to add to the shortlist after catching the eye on her debut when third to Captain Imperial. She clearly has ability and if improving for the experience she will once again be in the shake-up.
