T: Nigel Hawke
5 66/1
2
Horse Silk Brisky Dancer
£165,000 2yo; ninth foal; half-brother to six winners including connections' high-class jumper Al Dancer, smart Irish jumper Gold Dancer and smart French jumper Tzar's Dancer; dam unraced; tongue tied on debut; with that pedigree, he needs a close look.
J: Liam Harrison
T: Sam Thomas
4 - 4/1
3
Horse Silk Crossgales King
Showed significant ability in bumpers, most recently when sixth on seasonal/stable debut at Cheltenham (good) in October, and last month's C&D hurdle debut (good to soft) was more promising than eventual 72l defeat might suggest; considered each-way.
J: Paddy Hanlon(5)
T: Syd Hosie
5 33/1
4
Horse Silk Crystello
Runner-up in good-ground Irish point in April and ran well to a point before weakening into sixth on stable/hurdle debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft) last month; needs a good step forward here but that's possible.
J: Paul O'Brien
T: Harry Derham
4 16/1
5
Horse Silk Devilsrollthedice
Made the frame in two Irish points in spring but was remote when fourth of seven over C&D (soft) on rules debut a fortnight ago.
J: Rian Corcoran(7)
T: Gordon Treacy
5 125/1
6
Horse Silk Eton Mes
Placed in soft-ground Exeter bumper for Rod Millman in January but both subsequent bumper runs for David Pipe were somewhat underwhelming; improvement required on hurdle debut.
J: Conor O'Farrell
T: David Pipe
4 14/1
7
Horse Silk Getaway Sam
Unseated rider at first flight on stable/hurdle debut in October and was well-beaten 80-1 shot here (2m, soft) last month.
J: Stan Sheppard
T: Matt Sheppard
5 25/1
8
Horse Silk Grand Vendetta
140,000euros 3yo; seventh foal; half-brother to six winners including Lady Adare (useful bumper/jumps) and useful hurdlers Saint Bibiana and Sabrina; dam French hurdle winner; represents top stable; interesting newcomer.
J: Lorcan Williams
T: Paul Nicholls
5 - 7/2
9
Horse Silk Matthias
Made the frame in two bumpers towards end of 2023, more notably when second to very useful rival at Exeter (soft); makes hurdle debut after two-year absence but good market support will make him of strong interest.
J: Ciaran Gethings
T: Anthony Honeyball
6 12/1
10
Horse Silk Modern Man
Irish point winner who is a half-brother to smart hurdler Gwennie May Boy and made pleasing start to rules career when third over C&D (good to soft) last month; that form sets a clear standard here and he has very obvious scope for progress.
J: Jack Hogan
T: Emma Lavelle
5 8/11
11
Horse Silk Nancefordshore
Pulled up in two Irish points in the spring; can't be recommended on rules debut.
J: Joe Anderson(3)
T: Grace Harris
4 100/1
12
Horse Silk No Panic
Shaped quite well before weakening into sixth of 12 on recent seasonal/hurdle debut at Exeter (2m, good to soft) but others have much stronger claims here.
J: Chad Bament(7)
T: Jeremy Scott
5 40/1
