Verdict

All eyes will be on SILVER CONCORDE and the Cheltenham Festival Bumper winner shouldn't disappoint. Although beaten by runner-up Shaneshill in the Punchestown version, he arrives here after a run at Navan in October to put him straight and he looks an exciting prospect for hurdling. Call Me Pj won a bumper at KIlbeggan in August and has run quite well on the Flat this autumn while dual bumper winner Ebazziyr looks the type to make a decent hurdler and could prove best of the remainder.
