1
Horse Silk The Kalooki Kid
Won two handicaps in a row last winter (2m3f/2m4f, good to soft) and reappeared with close fourth of four in Listed intermediate chase at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft), a run he may improve for; this second-season chaser is in good hands to continue to progress.
J: Danny McMenamin
T: Nicky Richards
7 9/4
2
Horse Silk Richmond Lake
Last season ended with two below-par runs but he reappeared at Bangor last month following wind surgery and shaped with promise before fading; he may have needed that run and is well treated on last season's best efforts; won the last running of this in 2023 and could play a leading role.
J: Theo Gillard
T: Donald McCain
9 9/2
3
Horse Silk Uncle Bert
Failed to threaten last autumn on his three chase starts but his final effort here (3m1f, good) wasn't without promise behind a very well-handicapped winner; won off this mark over hurdles (3m, soft) in January; not ruled out.
J: Sam Twiston-Davies
T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies
8 7/1
4
Horse Silk Margaret's Legacy
Won last winter on his first two starts for this yard (2m4f, good to soft/soft) and good second at Bangor (2m4f, soft) last month on his first outing since, when clear with a rejuvenated winner; solid claims.
J: James Bowen
T: Warren Greatrex
8 9/4
5
Horse Silk Bleu d'Enfer
Off the mark at the 12th attempt over fences at Carlisle (2m4f, good) in April on final run for Stuart Crawford; sold for £55,000 in July and versatile ground-wise; soundly beaten in the Grand Sefton here on last month's stable debut but that was a tough ask on his reappearance and Brian Hughes remains on board (trainer also runs Richmond Lake); worth a second look.
J: Brian Hughes
T: Donald McCain
7 12/1
6
Horse Silk Gaelic Arc
Irish challenger who is well handicapped on his best form this summer and is one to watch in the betting; however, he's gone off the boil more recently and needs to turn things around.
J: Cian Quirke(3)
T: John Patrick Ryan
9 20/1
7
Horse Silk Ned Tanner
Tailed off on reappearance at Kelso four weeks ago but may have needed the run; won twice last season (2m4f, soft) and might not be far away.
J: Sean Quinlan
T: N W Alexander
