Verdict

The form of GIBB RIVER's Huntingdon win doesn't look particularly strong but this lightly-raced sort, a decent maiden on the Flat for Peter Chapple-Hyam, will have had his confidence boosted by that success and is capable of defying his penalty here. Even though she'd won twice on the level, Extremely So was allowed to start at generous odds when winning on her hurdling debut at Folkestone. The mare may struggle to follow up here but there are possibilities about recent C&D second Mrs Muddle and Nom Dom, who will have benefited from his run at Newbury. Perfect Shot won over 1m6f at Newmarket last year but became increasingly unreliable on the Flat and it remains to be seen if he'll take to the winter game.
