Silverburn can strike gold
Whether your reason for supporting the gelding is - purely for the fact that he’s from the Ditcheat stable or simply because he’s a brother to Gold Cup winner Denman, there’s no denying the fact that Silverburn’s form is progressive and makes a compelling case in his favour.
On just his third outing over hurdles he won the Grade 1 Tolworth at Sandown and, after a fourth placed finish in the Sun Alliance Hurdle and a forgivable defeat at Aintree, he embarked on a chasing career.
