Race Summary

GETAMAN returned to action with a solid second in a handicap chase at Warwick where he pulled well clear of the rest and, if able to reproduce form akin to that back over hurdles off a 7lb lower mark, he will surely go close. Next on the list is Getaway Tom, who shaped as though dropping back to this trip would be in his favour when fifth at Exeter Governor Green, who did the job well at Bangor last month, and handicap-debutant Imperial Sun are others to consider

Race Summary

A few in with chances but CAN’T BEAT HISTORY has shaped up well on both outings in handicaps so, provided he can settle a touch better back down in trip, Henry Oliver’s charge is selected to open his account. Boomtime Banker won both her starts last season and she may well emerge as the main danger if ready to roll after 8 months off, with Rock On Tommy and Lighthouse Mill others worth considering.
