Lord Getaway races off the same mark as when successful over fences at Huntingdon 12 days ago. Deebaj arrives off the back of an easy win at Lingfield but Dr Robin hasn’t scored over hurdles since 2015. Volt Face has slipped down the weights and Perfect Summer is eased in grade after a solid third at Ascot having finished second over 2m on the Flat before that. Ian Williams’ mare goes on the short-list while Imperial Nemesis makes his handicap debut after two promising runs over timber in novice and maiden company. MOONLIGHT DANCER (NAP) is pretty much guaranteed to improve now tackling handicaps and upped in trip. She’s learning with experience and is receiving weight from exposed types on ground that will suit. Ballymagroarty Boy has gone up 9lb for winning a conditionals’ race at Haydock in which the hot favourite didn’t run up to his best.
