Silver Sally ran a couple of decent races over hurdles in October, which in the context of this poor race gives her a chance. Mountain Kingdom showed a bit of promise for Sir Mark Prescott and will be better for his first run for new connections here a fortnight ago. He wasn't far behind VIADUCT JOEY on that occasion and both will be suited by this much longer trip with the latter, who has won three times over hurdles, looking the most viable option. Sar Oiche has numerous winning relatives and, though she wouldn't be expected to stay this far on breeding and has her first start beyond 1m2f, rates a big threat. On The Motorway failed to complete in four point-to-points but hasn't done badly in two runs here over trips too short.
