Silver Sister edges the verdict over Pyleigh Lady and Delena, while Kiama is one to bear in mind if supported at longer odds. Kiama does lack experience over hurdles but her yard have been in good form so a bold run cannot be ruled out. Delena has a big heart and she looks sure to give Placepot player a good run for their money. A little give underfoot would suit her nicely. Pyleigh Lady gained a deserved success at Newbury last time out and she is sure to be a popular choice. Even though it is a touch off-putting that Richard Johnson ties himself to See Me Fly - Darren O'Dwyer knows the Phillip Hobbs-trained mare well and big run can be anticipated. However, Silver Sister gave the impression that she has plenty more to offer when she won at Taunton in February and she is expected to cope with her penalty in this company.
