This could rest between Dangerousdanmagru and Yvanovitch with the last named getting the vote, Silver Inngot may do best of the others. Yvanovitch won well from Acertack over the two mile trip here back in November, but didn't jump too well in a much more competitive race at Newbury next time. He seems to be the type who needs to take his time over his jumping, so the extra distance and slower pace should be in his favour. The ex-Irish Dangerousdanmagru was an impressive winner at Listowel back in September. That was quite a valuable event and he should be there or thereabouts on his British debut. Silver Inngot was successful at Taunton back in September an has performed well in defeat since, he still looks on a very fair mark and should be involved in the finish. Up The Glen may prove best of the remainder, but Yvanovitch should improve for the step up in trip and gets the vote.
