Verdict
My Silver Lining rallied to beat Juniper at Cheltenham in April but there should be nothing between them on today’s terms. Organdi came back to form at Fontwell last month but this might be an insufficient test of stamina for Wake Up Early. Stormy Flight is still 10lb higher than when successful at Taunton in February so, in an open-looking heat, the vote goes to STRIKING A POSE who has won around here over hurdles and did win over 3m between the flags before that.
