Verdict
ROSE OF AGHABOE won over hurdles on her reappearance and made a winning debut over fences when scoring easily at Leicester last time. Nick Gifford’s mare looks worth sticking with despite a further rise given Winter Getaway was still beaten a distance when third at Exeter last time. A couple debut over the larger obstacles having won over hurdles with Getaway Mag stepping up in trip and preferred to the returning Whatsdastory.
