Get Me Out Of Here is a class act on his day but better over further. Sign Of A Victory may still be improving and is the choice of Barry Geraghty ahead of Laudatory, though looks handicapped to the hilt off a mark of 139. Laser Blazer bids for a four-timer in a much higher grade while this looks a big ask for four-year-olds Baradari, Violet Dancer and Dawalan. MOUNTAIN KING raced with the choke out on his reappearance at Cheltenham but was only headed at the last and beaten four lengths. He's sure to have benefited from that and may be the one to beat here, though Kilcooley is also interesting after a pipe-opener behind The New One at Kempton.
