Race Overview
BATAME DU BOCAGE (5) has been knocking at the door on her last two starts and deserves to get her head in front over hurdles for the first time. All five of her wins have been over fences previously. Her main danger could be RAFFLES LIAISON (4) who failed to finish last time but was a good fourth before that in a handicap hurdle in December. JAMES (12) looks like a sensible each-way option. FAN D'APPLES (1) warrants respect despite top weight.
Selection:
5 - 4 - 12
