FormscanBy Gary Carson - SILVER KING is interesting here taking a big step up in trip. The Sholokhov gelding stayed on to finish second to easy winner The Other Mozzie over two miles at Naas 16 days ago and goes a mile further now. He won over two-and-a-half over hurdles and has shaped like he wants a trip in the past. Whateys Quest was well backed when scoring at Limerick over Christmas. He got an 11lb hike for that cosy success but is entitled to be a big player again. Money Heist is another horse in the field taking a big step up in trip and also has to come into calculations for in-form trainer Gavin Cromwell.
