Knockeenonthedoor has run poorly since falling at Navan in December and may need a confidence booster. Angles Hill is certain to be fancied after a fine run under Ruby Walsh at Punchestown and Cnoc Na Sioga looked a promising type for hurdling when narrowly beaten in a Killarney bumper. SILVER CHIEF hasn't exactly been consistent but ran very well behind Popcorn at Thurles last March and a recent pipe-opener on the Flat should have put her straight enough to gain her first success.
