Race preview

The Sam Thomas yard has enjoyed a good start to the jumps season proper, and STOLEN SILVER could be the one having won so impressively here in April. The seven-year-old has gone well fresh in the past and, as a former Grade 2 hurdle winner, he remains feasibly handicapped. French Dynamite limbered up for this with a comfortable hurdles win at Thurles last month and must enter calculations along with Ga Law, who returned from a 603-day absence to run a cracker in the Old Roan. Easy Stratford winner Midnight River and veteran Coole Cody are others to note.
