Verdict

GET A TONIC won in a good time at Leicester and followed up with plenty in hand against the geldings at Uttoxeter, so she's a confident selection to take this step up in grade in her stride and complete the hat-trick. Pull Again Green and I Am Maximus both arrive on the back of victories at Newbury and are strongly respected.
