5/2
Has clearly had his problems since showing fairly useful form in bumpers for Anthony McCann but retains plenty of ability based on what he's done over hurdles, scoring readily in a novice claiming event at Ludlow last month. May do better still.

2/5
£100,000 buy after finishing runner-up completed start in Irish points and looked above average in bumpers. Built on hurdling debut with impressive success in a novice at Leicester 28 days ago and worth a chance to follow up.

Horse silk
100/1
Fair in bumpers but yet to feature over hurdles and is probably more one for handicaps.

Timeform
Cost £115,000 after winning his second of 2 starts in Irish points in the spring. Promise both starts in bumpers but wasn't really threatening when unseating at Leicester 45 days ago. Needs to build on that.

Forecasts

Sixmilebridge (2/5), Land Afar (5/2), Silver Thorn (7/2), Western Harmony (10/1), Tarbuck (100/1)

Verdict

SIXMILEBRIDGE and Land Afar both had plenty to spare when scoring last time out but Sixmilebridge's form has more substance to it and he gets the narrow vote, with Silver Thorn also respected.
