GIVE ‘EM THE SLIP looks sure to be winning at this level soon judged on a recent comeback over track and trip. Beaten less than a length on that occasion, Charlie Hill’s filly can go one better. Gurkha Girl finished a bit closer when runner-up at Kempton and can figure along with Case Of The Ex, who made a decent debut effort when third at Chelmsford behind an odds-on favourite. Cheshire Plain can only improve as a full-sister to a couple of winners and steps up in trip.
