Verdict

More was expected of Silverlord than what he delivered at Perth so don't be too surprised to see punters rowing in once again about Gordon Elliot's eight-year-old. Rachael Green's 3lb claim is almost a steal in this type of race and she can boot home another winner courtesy of HAWKHILL. The six-year-old was a useful on the Flat for Mick Halford and he has already posted back-to-back victories for new connections at Huntingdon and Southwell. There looks to be more to come. Constant Contact has been kept ticking over with a couple of outings on the Flat. He won with the minimum of fuss on his previous start over hurdles and Lucy Alexander gets the mount. Stage Acclaim looks to appreciate an old fashioned slog in the mud while Fred Bojangals, who ran an eye catcher in defeat at Wetherby, returns to the smaller obstacles after finishing fourth in the Swedish Grand National at Stromsholm.
