The form of Winding Roe's runner-up effort at Cartmel was boosted by a further success from the winner and the form looks solid. He'll probably set out to make all and has every chance. Jockey bookings indicate that Smart Getaway is preferred of the Murphy duo as Richard Johnson is booked. The mare has shown ability on all four starts and now has a first run for the yard. JANE LAMB has been the subject of strong support on all starts this term but has not looked overly keen in a finish despite travelling really well though her races. She's sure to be held up by Skelton and hopefully can be finessed into things late on and prove too good as she has undeniable ability.
