Got Away is two from two around here having appreciated a drop in grade over course and distance last month. She’s only gone up 4lb but COBRA DE MAI also has his sights lowered and is only a pound higher than winning in this grade at Stratford in November. He may be better suited by the surface than the Sherwood mare. Cave Top won at Uttoxeter in January but quicker going is a negative and More Buck's is not one to rely on. Deauville Dancer stays further but looks a better bet than Midnight Chill, who may find this company too hot.
