Pravda Street, BRASSINI and Silaah should all figure prominently with the suggestion being Rod Millman's experienced campaigner. He has struggled thus far this season but that has seen the handicapper relent and he has dropped to the mark from which he was last successful. He had plenty of good form to his name last summer in similar contests so it may be worth taking the chance that he can bounce back to his best. There was more encouragement to be taken from Pravda Street's latest run than the preceding efforts when he stayed on well to look in need of this step back up in trip. He's unexposed and could yet improve. Silaah finished in front of the selection at Doncaster despite being hampered after a slow start and he could go close if enjoying a little more luck in running and he doesn't have too many miles on the clock. Hustle has done much of his racing over further but his new yard have dropped him back in distance and he has looked to be on the verge of a return to winning form of late although he's not been the easiest to win with. Romany Princess rates a mention as does Mountain Pride who may benefit from the fitting of blinkers but we'll take Brassini to capitalise on the handicapper's generosity.
