Harry Skelton gives a bumper debut to points winner GETARIVER. She’s out of a mare which has produced winners under Rules with both of her offspring to race and is by a sire that has had plenty of smart jumps winners so looks a nice prospect, despite having only cost £30,000. Buck's Bin's changed hands for £60,000 after winning a maiden point in October and is another worth following, though possibly over further. Perfect Predator shaped with promise at Wincanton and could put that experience to good use today.
