10/3
Nigel Twiston-Davies’ Smiling Getaway looked smart when winning back-to-back starts in novice hurdles last term and was particularly impressive in the second of those. Already a winner over fences this season, she was a little out of her depth last time but can bounce back in this much lower grade.
