The Getaway Star⁸⁰

T: D Queally J: Mr D L Queally

Forecasts

Mrs Milner (1/1), Lunar Display (9/2), Darrens Hope (6/1), The Getaway Star (6/1), Merry Doyenne (13/2), Ally Cay (14/1), Make My Heart Fly (16/1), Fame And Joy (16/1), No Memory (20/1), Churchtown Queen (250/1)

MRS MILNER is significantly better than her opposition and, even if she might strip fitter for this first run in 6 months, she should have little trouble making a successful return. The Getaway Star is a solid alternative if the selection underperforms, her stablemate Merry Doyenne arrives on an upward curve and warrants consideration.
