9/1, excellent third of 15 in novice hurdle at this course (24f, good to soft) 47 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Unexposed in this sphere and makes appeal upped to a trip that should suit.

SIL VER KLASS was pulled up over fences at Killarney last time but he was in good order on the Flat towards the end of last season and he's on a handy mark, so gets the nod over Romann, who ran well on the level at the same course in July. Oakley is an obvious player starting out for a new yard.
