Race preview

FIVE STAR GETAWAY showed significant improvement to take advantage of a mark of 94 on his handicap chase debut at Wincanton earlier this month and could still be a good bit ahead of the assessor, despite being hit with an 11lb rise for that easy six-length success. Go Steady is another to feel the handicapper's wrath following his victory at Huntingdon last mont, but again can't be ruled out, representing the thriving stable of Dan Skelton. The Russian Doyen only got as far as the fourth at Newbury last weekend, but has the chance to quickly make amends and is well treated judged on the pick of his form.
