OLIVERS TRAVELS has impressed in bumpers and looks to have been found a good opportunity to continue his winning sequence on hurdle debut. Harel du Marais has had a fair few chances now but is an obvious threat on form, while Here Comes Georgie isn't dismissed lightly having shown promise in a Kelso bumper back in the spring.
