These are not an easy bunch to fall in love with, and some caution is called for. Silent Account ended a run of four incomplete races when second at Fontwell recently over this sort of trip and gets a great chance to score off a much lower Irish hurdles mark now. Millen Dollar Man does at least boast C&D winning form from May, though will need to be at his best to score here. Jeremys Hope posted a much better effort last time and might build on it but JACK THE HAT won over fences at Perth in July not long after a two-year break and finds himself on a workable mark now going over timber in this country for the first time since August 2015 and that could help him net this winnable prize.
