It’s difficult to have much faith in veteran Silver Man nowadays, though the champion rides here. Alexander The Grey is now 0-25 under Rules and High Hatton is 0-8, though has won nine times between the flags. Stage One looks the pick of Lawney Hill’s pair but GOLD MOUNTAIN looks the one to be on as the recent Uttoxeter second has been crying out for this step up in trip having placed over 3m over hurdles.
