A winner of two bumpers and two hurdles, Ultimate Getaway made a winning start over fences in a similar small field at Ludlow but this stiffer track may stretch his stamina. SAIL AWAY is a bit more exposed but has come up against smart novices in his four runs and this could be his day. Reign Suepreme will need the other pair to underperform if he is to win.
Sail Away (FR) 10-3 (11-7) Held up off the pace in last pair, modest 5th at 15th, plugged on in 4th before next, went 3rd before the last, no impression, 3rd of 9, 4 1/4l behind Exelerator Express (12-0) at Aintree 3m 1f hcp (2) gd in May.
Ultimate Getaway (IRE) 4-1 (11-0) Raced in last, close up 3rd, prominent when slow jump 12th, driven along 2 out, switched right to challenge approaching final fence, ridden to lead inside final 150yds, kept on well, won at Ludlow 3m (3) gd in May beating Eminent Poet (11-0) by 1 1/4l, 3 ran.
Reign Suepreme (IRE) 25-1 (10-12) Tracked winner who soon went clear, closer at 7th, pushed along going out on last circuit, lost 2nd 12th, outpaced and no chance next, last of 3, 27l behind Broken Halo (11-4) at Fontwell 2m 6f (3) gs in Mar.
