5/1
Rebecca Curtis’ River Voyage was progressive over hurdles towards the back end of last season and he followed up an impressive win at Ffos Las by scoring again off a 7lb higher mark at Exeter the following month. He’ll improve for his first run of the season and there should be more to come over fences.
