FormscanBy Michael Graham - The way SILVERTOWN finished well for second in an extended two and a quarter mile handicap hurdle at this venue last month bodes well for this step up in trip. That was a marked improvement from previous hurdling efforts, and it showed that he has an aptitude for this unique track. Old Durham Town showed much more on his second start in Limerick when chasing home a four-length winner. He looks set to be heavily involved. Tecumseh Sherman and Fakir D'alene will have their supporters. King's Vow shouldn't be discounted on this better ground.
