SILVA ECLIPSE, three times a winner on the Flat, has changed stables since defying a couple of mistakes to gain a comprehensive victory on heavy going over 2m at Hexham. The longer trip should be even more to his liking and he can go in again. Manitowoc County's best run over timber came on very testing ground so more rain would aid his cause. Snapdragon Fire has travelled a very long way for this but was beaten 22l into second at Taunton while The Great Getaway, a winner between the flags, makes his hurdling debut though will be better for his run in a bumper here last month. Sweet As Candy was engaged in the 1.40 at Ayr yesterday.
