GETAWAY LUV looked sure to win at Bangor a week ago before unseating Sean Quinlan between the final two fences. He races off the same mark here and should go close with a clear round. Hidden Commander has finished tailed off the last twice while Without Conviction hasn’t raced since pulled up at Hexham in May and Mister Bells has been absent since runner-up at Cartmel in the same month. Lights Are Green was fairly consistent over the summer but still looks to be in the handicapper’s grip.
