Midnight Silver won bumpers at Ffos Las and Fontwell on heavy going earlier in the year and could go well on her hurdling debut if handling this quicker surface. Biretta and Cosmic Diamond are others worth a market check along with Tullow Tonic but we'll stick with the experience of KILTY CAUL and Storming Strumpet. The latter has yet to finish out of the frame in three starts over timber and may start favourite but we just prefer the former, who belied her odds at Ffos Las last month to lead at the last and was only worn down close home by the well-backed winner.
