Verdict
This will be the softest ground that Getaweapon has so far encountered and it is also an unknown for Go Chique but Arbor Vitae placed twice last season in Ireland on heavy going and she is likely to find further improvement for the switch to Richard Newland. MISTY WHISKY (NAP) ground out a deserved victory under a big weight in a handicap at Uttoxeter last month so she shouldn’t be fazed by a 6lb penalty. A bumper winner around here, she should have more to offer back up in distance and conditions are ideal. Forthegreatergood and Jerminnie Green are worth noting for future reference.
