Sneaky Getaway has managed to win six races in 16 starts and though he's run poorly over hurdles the last twice he's a serious threat to everything here. Anna Bunina was in double winning form over hurdles last summer and will have found 1m4f too short on her return to the Flat a fortnight ago but Kasperenko, a Listed winner at Kempton in 2018, has changed stables after racing in much better company on Turf last summer. GRANDMASTER FLASH also ran in strong handicaps on Turf last summer and though only third of four behind Tartlette last week will have found the extended 1m2f much too short. Whirling Dervish isn't out of this after a fair run over timber at Musselburgh.
