Formscan  - SPORTINGSILVERMINE is unbeaten in two starts since switching to the James Owen yard and may have been worth more than the winning margin suggests at Musselburgh last time. The son of Holy Roman Emperor has Mason Patel claiming a handy 7lb and remains relatively unexposed over this distance. The hat-trick seeking Obsidian Knight is likely to have his supporters after recording a double at Lingfield and he needs to be taken seriously. Of the remainder, Small Fry makes the most appeal.
