Silver Shuffle has won just the once in 41 starts over hurdles and is still 4lb higher, though this is a handicap which lacks strength-in-depth so he goes on the short-list. Louloumills is interesting as she's shown some promise and Thomas Dowson is good value for his 7lb claim. Thyne For Gold won at Fakenham in May and has had a recent pipe-opener but ANGE DES MALBERAUX gets the nod to finally come good having only found one too strong over a similar trip at Bangor last month.
