Mike Cattermole gives his verdict on the Silver Trophy Handicap Hurdle at Chepstow. The feature race is the most valuable one of the two-day Jumps Season Opener. It is broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing.

Harry Skelton is the jockey for Dan Skeltons stablemate West To The Bridge. Lorcan Williams rides Proschema. Last year Proscma finished fifth in the race. This year's rating is 3lb lower than last year.

Harry Cobden and Paul Nicholls are going to race in the Silver Trophy Handicap Hurdle at Chepstow. Sky Sports Racing's Mike Cattermole gives his expert verdict on the race.   The winner will be announced later today.

Lorcan Williams is the front-runner in the Silver Trophy Handicap Hurdle. Dan Skelton is a veteran who won four times last season.

Philip Hobbs has won this event four times in the past. He is back to his previous form after undergoing a wind operation. Last year he finished second to a horse with a mark of 132.

Niall Houlihan and Nick Gifford are going to race at Chepstow Jumping Festival. The winner will be decided on the sound surface. Sky Sports Racing's Mike Cattermole gives his expert verdict on Silver Trophy Handicap Hurdle.

Jonjo O'Neill Jr won at Kempton on Boxing Day. Nicky Henderson started favourite for the Betfair Hurdle but faded into seventh place. He is now 10lb better off. He has a 4lb pull for just under 4 lengths with the fourth, Lord Baddesley.

Brendan Powell won the Silver Trophy Handicap Hurdle last season. Joe Tizzard won a hat-trick of handicaps at Sandown and Plumpton in the spring.

Freddie Gordon is one of two Chris Gordon-trained challengers. Freddie finished second to Bourbali at Plumpton in April.

Tom Cannon finished fourth in the Betfair Hurdle over two miles. He is 6lb better off with the Nicholls challenger but 4lb worse with Henderson runner. He should settle well off the strong pace and could be the one to beat.

Richie McLernon is a useful middle-distance performer on the flat for Mark Johnston. Jonjo O'Neill has won this race twice before, including with Don't Push It.

Mike Cattermole's Silver Trophy verdict: A race that intrigues the more you look at it. Lord Baddesley has bits of form that make him a fascinating contender for his yard. Bourbali is genuine and likeable. Knappers Hill needs to squeeze out a bit more. Masters Legacy is not comfortably dismissed after his wind operation.
