Half-brother to prolific Flat/hurdles winner Cool Style; beaten about 24l when fourth of six at Sandown (good to soft) in February but that form has worked out well and this race is probably easier.

20th Nov 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Unraced on soft/heavy; fairly consistent during this season's spell with Dominic Ffrench Davis and came from off the pace to open account on recent stable debut at Hereford (2m5f, good); effectively only 4lb higher under his 7lb penalty and commands respect. |
9/4 |

12th Nov 2024 Good 2m 5f 163y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Although frustrating, he hasn't run too badly on either start since going up in trip considering he's failed to settle; has changed hands since just over 7l sixth of 13 at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) last month on final start for Dominic Ffrench Davis; 3lb out of the handicap but remains of interest. |

Looked ready for the 2m4f of Huntingdon last time (good), and a refusal to settle appeared more the issue than stamina in fading into an 8l third; must help himself more up further in trip, but interesting again. |

Placed in both bumpers; fourth at Plumpton (2m, soft) in January seemed encouraging but that's easily the best of her four runs over hurdles; raced too freely over 2m5f next time and ran a shocker on handicap debut at Kempton (2m, good; 17-2) 17 days ago, so has questions to answer. |

Verdict
Nicky Henderson’s runner By The Grace was second on her debut at Southwell but that form isn’t anything to get excited about and preference is for Sir Mark Prescott’s newcomer SOLID SILVER, who has AW winners in her pedigree. Seaside Legend bled from the nose and was below form on his second outing but has a significant role to play if all is well here, while The Glen Rovers has a striking Flat pedigree and also makes the shortlist.[Chris Wilson]
