Verdict
Getgo gained compensation for some decent efforts when scoring over the course and distance and a 4lb rise doesn't look harsh. Lizard Point, who finished third, should get closer from the revised weights though has never won in 23 starts. The veteran KING OF ARAN won over hurdles in August and didn't reappear until last month when chasing home Nulife over this track and trip. That should have put him spot-on and he can go one better. Pretty Little Liar wasn't beaten far into third in that latter event, easily her best run to date, so she's expected to get into the action while Pass The Ball has only had three runs here and finished runner-up twice so he's capable of going well.
