GETAWAY WHISKEY showed enough potential at Worcester to suggest he'll be difficult to beat with that experience under his belt - Dan Skelton's charge gets the vote. Helmsley Lad chased home the odds-on Royal Supremo at Sedgefield in April when the remainder were in another parish. The winner scored again next time so the form looks decent and he looks a threat. Sophie Olivia has looked as though she needed a stronger test of stamina than she may get here though Henry Brooke returns from injury to ride so better must be expected. Alan King has several good chances today but his Skeleton Bob was due to run yesterday at Lingfield. Hit And Run's dam has numerous bumper winners in her pedigree.
