Race preview
CLEAN GETAWAY has been a revelation in recent months, with four consecutive victories over hurdles and fences at this course. Philip Kirby's gelding is reverting to timber off a 2lb lower mark than his chase win here 10 days ago and the five-timer is on. Foster's Fortune was narrowly denied by a subsequent scorer over C&D last month and another good account can be expected, despite a 5lb rise making life more difficult. Lightening Company arrives fit from the Flat and is also worth a second look.
