Wetherby runner-up DEFINITELY GLAD is improving with experience and could cap a profitable evening for followers of Paul Webber's yard by landing this maiden hurdle. She's yet to finish out of the frame in five starts under Rules. On The Move has been placed in a couple of bumpers and is interesting on her hurdling debut while Je T'aime has similar credentials and may have more scope than As I Am and Grimley Girl. Was My Valentine may need a softer surface but is still preferred to Princess Annabelle and winning pointer Drombeg West of the others.
