This won't take much winning and it looks a good opportunity for consistent hunter SILVER TENOR to record a maiden success under Rules. He was second on his reappearance between the flags at Garthorpe 12 days ago which looks better form than Marky Bob's win at Tweseldown on the same day. Halcyon Times is usually placed between the flags but isn't getting younger and Into The Light's recent form over hurdles is nothing special, though Harriet Bethell is a good jockey booking.
