SILVER CONCORDE may not have fulfilled expectations after landing the Cheltenham Bumper in 2014 but he's still managed to win the November Handicap at Leopardstown and finish a close third in the Chester Cup. His hurdling exploits have been less successful but this looks the day to finally lose his maiden tag. All The Answers is another yet to produce his best over hurdles but the bumper winner has competed at a high level and has much more to offer. Gone Platinum has improved with experience over timber and chased home Gunner McGregor at Limerick while Mr Antolini won a bumper after a promising debut over hurdles at Thurles.
