This is more competitive than the previous division and Indian Castle has to come into the reckoning having beaten Victor Hewgo here last month. However, he has to give 6lb to MATTHEW RILEY, a runner-up over 2m at this track last time, and that could prove beyond him. Philip Kirby's charge gets the nod to confirm latest running with Silverton and land this. Flemens Pride is a bumper winner who could figure on her hurdling bow, while Standintheband showed a bit more over timber last time and makes more appeal than both Ben Akram and Blue Kascade.
