Trainer with a 60% strike-rate at Hexham this season runs one on Wednesday

Silent Steps finished second to subsequent Grade 2 winner Beer Goggles in a handicap hurdle at this meeting last year but is yet to win under rules. Darius Des Bois is still learning his job but seemed to knuckle down under pressure last time out, an eight pounds rise does demand more today though. The selection is ALOOMOMO who was once rated as high as 140 over fences, he runs here off a mark of 117 and the switch to hurdles combined with the fitting of a first-time visor makes him of serious interest in this company.
