Verdict

Getaway Car bolted up on the Polytrack at Wolverhampton last week. He's been raised 10lb but Thomas Brown is one of the most experienced apprentices riding in this. Bee Jay Kay only won a seller at Goodwood but receives weight from all of her rivals while Xinbama likes it here, though there's no certainty that he'll stay the longer trip. ALOHA finally came good at Lingfield earlier this month when she had Royal Alcor, who ran well under a big weight at Wolverhampton on Friday, back in third. This track is similar in nature and Roger Varian's filly is fancied to double her tally. Certavi is a consistent sort and makes more appeal than Jack Who's He and Young Dottie over this distance.
