MY KHALEESI is likely to be a warm order here after her dead-heat in a Cheltenham bumper last month. She has a superb pedigree for jumping and is difficult to oppose. However, she may not have things her own way as Hughie Morrison's Star Rider, four times a winner on the Flat and now rated 95 after a comprehensive victory at Newmarket in October, has plenty going for her on ground that should suit. Silent Steps is another interesting contender having been bought for £70,000 after landing a point-to-point at Liscarroll in March and now with Nicky Henderson. The selection's stable companion Corrie Loch will improve for her run at Market Rasen but the remainder look up against it.
