1/6
Has won 4-16 in this code, including the 2014 Champion Bumper at Cheltenham. Has continued in fine form for this trainer, winning his first two, both here and runner-up in good handicap last time (good to soft). Will be tough to beat.

Horse silk
9/2
Showed some promise in his bumper in October and bettered his Wetherby hurdles debut when scoring by 10L here in a maiden hurdle last month. Has potential for more improvement over longer trip, so won't make it easy for more experienced opponent.

Forecasts

Silver Concorde (1/6), The Road Home (9/2)

Verdict

Not a race to get too heavily involved in but SILVER CONCORDE is given the vote due to his experience and, of course, ability, of which we know more. He can be relied on to produce another consistent performance, which on the day could be too much for the promising The Road Home, although the latter looks destined for better in time.
  1. Silver Concorde
  2. The Road Home
