In depth

Verdict

SAMMY SPIDERMAN and Something Silver were well clear of Quinder Spring when 1-2-3 over 2m5f here last month and all three are happy enough over this longer trip. The winner loves it around here and is taken to follow-up. He should have plenty in hand of Salut Honore at these weights as the latter won a poor Uttoxeter handicap last month and a 9lb rise looks harsh. Ballyoliver was very moderate over hurdles but made a winning debut over fences in a Warwick handicap before falling at Southwell. He's high enough at the weights while it was a very moderate contest that Tipsy Dara won on her chasing debut and she's another with a big weight rise to contend with.
