        Verdict

        On bumper form this should be a straight fight between Silver Knight and Simply Supreme who finished 6th and 7th respectively behind Kickham in a top bumper event at Aintree last April. TEAMtalk preference goes to Tim Easterby's charge as the stable has experience of bringing on talented hurdlers. Serious Position has the best hurdle form on show and has run his best races on a fast surface. Super Sammy put in some decent runs late last season and if fit enough for her seasonal reappearance should go well despite her trainer being in woeful form.
