Verdict

FIVE STAR GETAWAY stands out as a progressive sort in this line-up and is taken to defy the handicapper again and complete a hat-trick. The in-form Sue Smith yard used cheekpieces to good effect on Cheltenham winner Vintage Clouds and The Paddy Pie could pose a threat if reacting positively to the first-time headgear. Admiral Barratry had an excuse last time and is also on the shortlist.
