In depth

Verdict

Ar Mest is better than he showed at Southwell but is giving away lumps of weight in this. GETAWAY JEWEL was much better last time at Sedgefield and, with Becky Smith claiming 3lb, can get the better of Arbennig, who is dropped in trip, and On Time, who gets first-time cheekpieces.
