Yourholidayisover is 0-11 over fences and Grand March is also becoming expensive to follow. Bahumbug might need this but Knight's Reward could be interesting tackling the larger obstacles for the first time and is preferred to stable companion Bennachie. VIKING MISTRESS was showing ability for the first time over hurdles here last month and she shouldn't be far away if handling the switch to fences racing off the same mark.
