In depth

Verdict

MILLICENT SILVER ran well for second on her return to action at Plumpton. A distance clear of the rest, the Twiston-Davies mare can go one better in this. Hel Tara made a winning start in bumpers when scoring at Towcester in April and could prove a threat on her hurdling bow especially if supported in the betting. But the remainder have yet to show any worthwhile form with Glenarm perhaps capable of better now hurdling for the first time.
