This is an extremely competitive mares’ handicap but Winter Getaway will be prominent in the betting, despite having been raised a pound since finding a couple too good in her first try over this trip at Taunton. Subway Surf caught a tartar when odds-on over 2m5f here and she is likely to enjoy the extra yardage. Coillte Eile failed to give her true running at Kempton over Christmas having won in this grade earlier at Ascot. Who's The Boss is interesting making her handicap debut and Ziggy Rose wasn’t suited by a slow pace last time at Doncaster. Ellens Way will have benefited from her comeback and Ask Catkin arrives on a hat-trick but Ben Jones’ claim will help LEGENDS GOLD and she was far from disgraced in better company at Cheltenham in November having earlier completed a three-timer.
