Verdict
Belle Of Annandale was 0-18 on the Flat but did place nine times up to 1m5f. Harel Du Marais is 0-9 over timber but was a fair third on his handicap debut here at the start of the month. Call Me Harry and OLIVERS TRAVELS are dual bumper winners but the former has a bit prove now. The latter placed in a point at the start of his career so a switch to hurdles shouldn’t be a problem. Here Comes Georgie is another with plenty of scope.
