Receiving 14lb from Simply Loveleh if including Lewis Stones’ 7lb claim, previous winner SMART GETAWAY could recover losses incurred here last month when he found little off the bridle behind Duck Egg Blue. Simply Loveleh was also a beaten favourite last time but drops back down a grade for this so is respected. Princess Nearco won just once on the Flat in 18 attempts but still makes more appeal than Ballinamona Flyer.
