Glajou is having a first run for Paul Nicholls having placed twice over hurdles in France. He has decent claims in this while Perfect Predator has finished second three times over timber this season having won a bumper at Taunton around this time last year. GETARIVER looks the one to be on, however, if you ignore her run at Southwell in December when she failed to handle heavy ground. She has won two bumpers and easily won a Ludlow maiden in November on only her second run over hurdles. Sunny Express looks best of the rest but has been a little disappointing.
