Verdict

Got Away is the only mare in the contest and she is 2-2 at this venue, her only wins in seven attempts since arriving from France in 2017. She had something in hand last time here and, if the headgear has her mind focused once more, she's got clear claims being 1lb ahead of the assessor. MIDNIGHT CHILL is the more consistent option off bottom-weight for Dan Skelton. He hasn't been out of the first two in four starts since a summer wind operation and, with his mark unchanged since a Taunton second, is worth a try upped in distance with in-form Gavin Sheehan up. The others all have questions against them, with perhaps Cobra De Mai able to challenge if his jumping holds up.
