While cases can be made for several of these, the most likely scenario is that SPORTINGSILVERMINE will complete the hat-trick. Indeed, the handicapper has been rather magnanimous in raising the 4-y-o just 5 lb for his decisive Musselburgh success and he could have more to offer for his new yard. Small Fry is greatly respected on the back of his encouraging reappearance at Epsom and he is second choice Another who could have a part to play is Oman.
