Race preview
BIT ON THE SIDE has taken a step forward on both her starts during the summer, winning at Market Rasen and Uttoxeter, and Nigel Twiston-Davies' mare can improve again going up in distance today. Ultimate Getaway clearly wasn't at his best when making his hurdling debut at Southwell last month and he is capable of bouncing back from that effort based on his bumper performances, while Ask Henry and Noble Behest appear best of the remainder.
