Tikkinthebox has been struggling for form for a while but Trumps Benefit followed up a win around here with a fair third at Market Rasen, with The Garrison only fifth, and makes more appeal than the penalised Bangor winner White Turf. GETAMAN is proving to be a better chaser than hurdler and the Perth scorer will make a bold bid to shrug off a 5lb rise.
