Samtu made a winning start over fences but fell next time at Musselburgh. He has a big weight, though Billy Garrity’s claim will help. Aquarian only won once over hurdles but should make a chaser, though he will need further. Louloumills hasn’t raced since October and has a poor strike-rate so this can go to PETITE GANACHE (NAP), who won over hurdles two runs ago and has the scope to make a better chaser.
