FormscanBy Michael Graham - The handicapper has given SILVERKODE a chance and he has to be tempting. Joseph Murphy's charge has been dropped 3lb since finishing unplaced over an extended five furlongs at Naas. Prior to that, he was a running-on sixth in a massive field over a similar trip to this in the Curragh. The form of that race is working out well with the third home, Imposing Supreme, winning twice at the Galway Festival. Wesley Joyce won on Take My Hand at Naas and the pair have their chance after finishing fourth in Galway. Siobhan Rutledge was seen to good effect when steering Beleaguerment home in Gowran Park. He is an in-form horse but wouldn't welcome too much rain.
