Race preview
Get Out The Gate battled on well to score by a neck in a 3m hurdle here last time and could be keeping on strongly at the finish over this shorter trip. Preference, though, is for RETURN TICKET, who appears to have benefitted from wind surgery judging by his 2m course victory latest. Rebecca Menzies' eight-year-old can improve for this stiffer test and may well follow up. The consistent Cool Mix looks best of the rest after finishing third in the Rehearsal Chase.
