Verdict
Getaway Queen, a five-times winner here, would be the starting point if getting a run from her reserve spot despite a big weight. Make The Switch is a course winner over 1m4f and wasn't beaten far over this trip in November though finished behind WELL FUNDED that day and the latter looks to have a fine chance of going one better with her rider claiming 10lb. Vee Dancer will have found this trip too short in two runs in the autumn as she completed a hat-trick in marathons over timber just over a year ago. She's likely to attract support and is an obvious threat. Tenth Amendment could prove best of the remainder.
