This is only a novices' hurdle for conditional jockeys but it's attracted the attention of some powerful yards. Paul Nicholls' SILSOL may be the one to be on having made a promising start for new connections when fourth at Aintree. Vivaccio won at Lyon in June but hasn't been seen since and has to carry a penalty. Algernon Pazham was second over 2m here last month and will improve but point-to-point and bumper winner Court Appeal has been disappointing so far over timber, as has Willpower, and Owen Na View needs more. Speedy Bruere has won three times over fences, however, and Beatrix Kiddo has scope.
