A chance is taken on SILIN ALAINN, who hasn’t shown a great deal over hurdles but has a handicap mark to reflect that, and her switch to a top, in-form yard with a good record with similar sorts is well worth taking seriously in what looks a modest handicap hurdle. Uptaurintop arrives in good form and appeals as the one most likely to take advantage should the selection fail to fire, with both Tedworth and The Border Boy also respected.
