Ben De Haan's Fidelis has run better in his last two starts in bumpers and he has to be considered but Jonjo O'Neill's GET ME OUT OF HERE created a favourable impression when winning on his debut in a Uttoxeter bumper and he is taken to make a winning debut over hurdles with the main danger rated as Pure Faith. Peter Bowen's gelding has shown a decent level of form in bumpers, winning two of his four starts including at Newton Abbot last time, and he has to be respected. Charlie Pogson's Calaficial is likely to struggle under the penalty he has to carry for his win in a maiden hurdle here last month. Rocky River was well held on his hurdling debut and looks best watched, while Twentynineblack looks the second best of Don McCain's two runners behind Bled. Neither look good enough to get the better of Get Me Out Of Here, who is taken to make a winning debut over hurdles.
