Drumcliff will be a popular choice in the getting out stakes after his rather unlucky defeat at Kempton last time when he was hampered at the second last and beaten by another of today’s rivals in Bigmartre. A 3lb rise probably underestimates his chance and he looks sure to reverse that form with a clear run this time around. Another two to come out of that race are William H Bonney and WAIT FOR ME, and it’s probably the latter who is of the most interest. He’s twice run well at the Festival and a return to this track could be what he needs. He still looks well handicapped off a mark of 138. David Pipe runs a fascinating contender in Max Do Brazil who has yet to run in this country but his French form stacks up well here and the market may well tell a story over this one who has an eye-catching Betfair Hurdle entry. He cost connections £160,000 and they’ll be looking to get some of their purchase price back here. 1. Wait For Me 2. Max Do Brazil 3. Drumcliff
