Verdict
Winning pointer TWILL STAND TO US made a promising hurdling debut at Cartmel 10 days, finishing only four lengths behind winner General Hardi. He wouldn't need much more to open his account under Rules in this. Kilbree Chief, another who has been successful between the flags, was placed in a bumper last time as was Perfect Poison, while Oscar Tanner has been placed three times in that sphere. There doesn't look to be much to choose between stablemates Optical High and Silver Sophire and they may be best of the rest.
