Undoubtedly there will have been far stronger maiden hurdles than this race, but time should demonstrate that there are a number of horses in this contest who are capable of winning races in the North at their respective levels. Cool Mix and Treshnish filled the placings behind the useful Some Reign at Kelso in October, and a reproduction of those debut hurdle efforts should see either of the pair go close. Ask The Tycoon and McGowan's Pass bring winning form in bumpers into the race, and the former makes most appeal of that pair with a recent run under his belt despite his more tender years (aged just four). However, a speculative selection in an open looking contest is SILVER BULLION. He should handle the conditions, and whilst the bare bones of his Kelso hurdles debut suggests that he needs to produce further improvement, that could well be forthcoming at a track which will place a greater emphasis on stamina than slick and fluent hurdling.
