Formscan - Ghost Raider caught the eye when a length second on his Kempton debut, but he failed to build on that as hoped when only fourth at York. He might find this company and small field more to his liking, but preference is for the Andrew Balding-trained SILENT FORCE. A son of No Nay Never, he finished a decent third on his Newbury debut despite being hampered twice, and is expected to have learned from the experience. Time Glory is the suggestion for third.
