In depth
Verdict
A winner of two bumpers and two hurdles, Ultimate Getaway made a winning start over fences in a similar small field at Ludlow but this stiffer track may stretch his stamina. SAIL AWAY is a bit more exposed but has come up against smart novices in his four runs and this could be his day. Reign Suepreme will need the other pair to underperform if he is to win.
