Two-time winner this year SPORTINGSILVERMINE (3) is a smart flat performer. Secured a class two handicap success in the 2400m Old Newton Cup at Newmarket during July and placed second at the Shergar Cup meeting here (2400m). Trainer worth noting. Respect on hurdling debut. BABS (1) bids for a hat-trick gaining a 9L victory in a 3200m maiden hurdle at Worcester before scoring narrowly over 3400m a Newton Abbot novices hurdle six weeks ago. Big claims. NO WAY JAY (2) produced a good fourth in a 3200m Listed jumpers flat race at this track last season and tackles hurdles for the first time making seasonal return. Deserves a market check. Southwell jumpers flat race winner MASTERIUS (4) might feature.
