Verdict
The stables of Little Chip and Coronea Lilly are bang in form but the former lost his way completely in the spring while the latter has shown little aptitude for jumping fences so far. SILVER MAN is lightly raced so should be capable of better and had Strumble Head well behind when a close-up third at Uttoxeter in July. Jo Hughes' winning pointer can open his account under Rules here as Ballyvoneen usually reserves his best for Plumpton.
