Formscan - A dual winner in novice hurdles, the latest being a smooth effort at Hereford, SILVER HILL promises to have more to offer now he steps into handicap chase company and he is fancied to make a winning return over this longer trip. The consistent Dunkerque is respected, although he concedes 11lb to the selection and may struggle to contain his less-exposed rival. That considered, Kent De Thaix may prove to be a bigger danger on his first start after wind surgery.
