Verdict
Getariver didn't take to fences on her debut last month but won a maiden hurdle and a jumper's bumper at Wolverhampton last winter and should be capable of better. Valse Au Taillons completed a double on good ground last summer and wasn't suited by heavy going in her two runs earlier this year. Green Or Black ran very well when a close third here in August but was beaten a long way on her next start at Uttoxeter. Pogo I Am easily landed a novices' event here in July but ran a shocker when well supported at Southwell before an ordinary run at Warwick. DIAMOND GAIT has mainly raced in better company with some success. She had a couple of runs over fences in midsummer before reverting to hurdles and running well in a better handicap than this at Market Rasen.
