SILK WORM is still a maiden over hurdles, but she ran a cracker when runner-up at Down Royal 3 weeks ago and a repeat of that form may see her go one better here. Fighting Fit is open to further improvement now he's up and running, while Niccolai and Damut both return to this sphere off appealing marks and complete the shortlist.
