Getaway Queen has a mountain to climb at the weights but arrives in winning form and it would be no surprise to see her outrun big odds. Miranda won a Grade 2 at Doncaster last season and it’s difficult to see third Marie's Rock reversing that form, despite revised terms. Zambella won three times over fences last term but was beaten when unseating her rider in this race two years ago. MOLLY OLLY WISHES won a Listed race at Warwick last season before finishing third in the Grade 2 National Spirit at Fontwell in February. She may well progress again this season and, though the shorter trip isn't ideal, she can overcome an absence to beat the four-year-olds Her Indoors and Fiveandtwenty.
