VAN MEEGEREN perhaps isn't one for maximum faith given he's failed to complete on his last 2 hurdle starts but it was a soft unseat last time and he'd looked set to win when falling at the last at Fontwell last autumn. He's selected to make the most of the weight he receives from dual hurdle winner Ultimate Getaway.
