Ramonex has won twice over 2m3f but has been found wanting over further in the past. Plantagenet is back in the right grade and so is Boughtbeforelunch but the top weight’s poor strike-rate is off-putting. Lord Getaway hasn’t raced since last summer but Ivilnoble could fare better on this quicker surface. GETAWAY MAG took little interest at Market Rasen in December and was pulled up but he’d won well over this trip at Southwell earlier and is probably worth another chance given the form of trainer and jockey.
