RACE SUMMARY:
AIR HAIR LAIR has taken very well to fences, beating Getawaytonewbay by 2 lengths over C&D last time, and is taken to follow up. Getawaytonewbay has an excellent record here and is 2lb better off with the selection, so rates the main threat again. Scaramucci and Babytaggle are long-standing maidens but are capable of making the frame.
