Verdict

GET SKY HIGH offered plenty to work on behind the now smart Nemean Lion on her Hereford hurdling debut back in November 2022 and, with fitness rarely a concern with runners from the Skelton yard, she's taken to come out on top. Easy Peasy won a decidedly ordinary maiden at Exeter but surely has more to offer based on her bumper form, with Twyford's Diamond fancied to fill the places.
