There appears to be some useful form on display here with the third of Whatmore in the Silver Trophy particularly noteworthy; his recent effort at Aintree indicating he was still worthy of consideration. Count Simon from the Elliott yard who have to be respected with all their runners here is interesting back in a handicap especially if the forcing tactics used last time are employed again. Both Secrete Stream (best fresh) and One For Harry (looks well handicapped) are worthy of a second look but it’s the unexposed handicap debutante SCHIEHALLION MUNRO who catches the eye the most. He’s likely to have more improvement left in him and he’s taken to make it three wins from five over hurdles.
