Formscan - STOLEN SILVER returned to action to run out an easy six-length victor in a class 2 event over an extended 2m7f at Chepstow and a 7lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from taking this valuable prize too, with his stamina now proven. Complete Unknown, who chased home Gerri Colombe in a Grade 1 at the Grand National meeting back in the spring, just did enough in heavy ground at Newton Abbot on his comeback and has to be feared. So does Mahler Mission, who warmed up with an encouraging Carlisle second over an inadequate trip. Monbeg Genius' jumping let him down at Ascot but he is fancied to take a significant step forward.
