In depth

Verdict

LINED WITH SILVER (NAP) just missed out over these fences last week when narrowly beaten by Jaunty Inflight and gets another chance in this racing off the same mark. No No Cardinal was well beaten in second by Bally Lagan here three weeks ago but finished ahead of Spock while Triggywinkle was placed over 2m2f at the track last month before disappointing last time. Bouggietopieces' only win so far over fences was back in 2015 but he has recently joined Tim Vaughan.
