A cracking renewal of this mares Grade 2 but it's still hard to ignore the claims of GETAWHISKY who really caught the eye when a considerately handled fourth at Market Rasen last time out and can provide Dan Skelton with another big handicap success. Fergal O'Brien took this event 12 months ago and his improving Strong Run heads the list of dangers, while Trinity Street, Fresh As A Daisy and Charisma Cat also look to have more to offer and can have a say. Watamu completes the shortlist.
