TIMEFORM VIEW Fair hurdler who didn’t need to improve when making all in 19f Catterick novice last month. A bit more will be needed if he’s to follow up under a penalty.

TIMEFORM VIEW £50,000 point winner who is related to some useful sorts and looked a good prospect when landing a 19f Catterick maiden hurdle on his Rules debut over Christmas. Surely more to come for top yard.

TIMEFORM VIEW Best effort in 3 bumpers when runner-up at Kelso in November, although the form is nothing special. Well held on Newcastle hurdle debut last month.

PLAY SMARTER The Donald McCain team continues in excellent form so SILVER FLYER gets the nod to build on his encouraging performance at Catterick and make it 2-2 under Rules. Monbeg Genius can give him more to do than High Moon in a contest which will likely concern just those 3.
