Ship Of The Fen, a four-times winner on the Flat, looks the type to pick up a small handicap before the summer is out but ULTIMATE GETAWAY seems to have got his act together now and can defy a penalty with his yard continuing in outstanding form. Van Meegeren looks the danger having won on the Flat at Lingfield last month as he would almost certainly have won at Fontwell last October had he not fallen at the last.
