PERFECT MYTH (NAP) has experience of this surface and has placed twice in bumpers. She’s been in excellent form over hurdles this season with heavy going a legitimate excuse when she was a beaten favourite in Listed company at Taunton last time. Collateral form gives her the beating of See The Eagle Fly and she’s also preferred to Getariver, who is 3-5 in bumpers but has disappointed the last twice. Midnights' Gift has won three times over hurdles and once on the Fat so can’t be ignored but Really Super, a Grade 3 winner over fences, may find this too short.
