The lightly-raced My Silver Lining makes her chasing debut but has never encountered going this quick. Howdilyoudo won at Stratford in May but subsequent efforts have left much to be desired. Fairfield Ferrata made a promising start over the larger obstacles at Worcester but a drop back in distance might help the free-going DAZZLING GLORY and Tristan Durrell’s 5lb claim is also a plus.
