Getaway Queen gained her fifth course victory when tackling two miles last month but has won over shorter and at this trip so has to be respected. Colin Keane was on board when Matilda With Me gained her first all-weather victory here last month and though that was over shorter she has no problems with the extra. She holds The Lion Strikes on that run while MAURA'S GIFT and Chateau Musar fought out a tight finish two weeks ago with the former just prevailing. Robert Whearty appeared to have a bit up his sleeve on the winner and Paul Flynn's improving filly can go in again. Lariat once again ran well here last time but he's now 0-16 on the track.
