Employer has yet to show anything over hurdles and Glimpse Of Gold’s lack of recent action is off-putting but Giga White was second over fences at Newton Abbot last month. Cotswold Prince, in first-time blinkers, must have a chance in a race like this and Court In Matera was runner-up to a subsequent easy winner at Stratford but, in the hope that wind surgery has had the desired effect, we’ll take a chance on the unexposed HARBOUR SUNRISE coming good on his handicap debut.
