It's hard to believe Silver Concorde is still a maiden over hurdles after beating Shaneshill in the championship bumper at Cheltenham in 2014. He's capable of winning this though faces a tough test against some promising types. Winning point-to-pointer Beyond The Law has been brought along steadily and ran very well on heavy ground at Gowran last month but CRACKING SMART is taken to defy an absence since April. An unlucky faller on his only start in France, he made a very encouraging debut for Gordon Elliott in a huge field at Naas then won a Fairyhouse bumper in tremendous fashion. Rock Road had little chance against the exciting Fayonagh at Fairyhouse but had some much better fancied rivals behind and can build on that while Off You Go caught the eye on his racecourse debut at Roscommon. There are several unexposed types to keep an eye on including bumper winners Borderline Chatho and Shady Operator in what should be an informative contest.
