VALLEY OF KINGS (3) made progress last start to finish second over 6½f at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Nicely placed to take this out. PROUD PAINTER (4) ran in a small field on debut missing the frame, beaten 2. 75 lengths when fourth at this track over 6f. Rates as a strong chance. INSTANT RESPONSE (6) went forward when resuming last start over 5f at this track and held on well for third, beaten 6 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. SILENT TACTIC (1) is on debut. By Tacitus and hails from the Mark E Casse stable. Watch the market closely.
