Verdict
Zuba has placed twice on the Flat since landing a Plumpton maiden. Fire Away tries again to get off the mark over hurdles having recorded a fourth victory over fences at Cartmel five weeks ago but, in the hope an impressive win over course and distance has boosted confidence, we'll stick with ULTIMATE GETAWAY with Liam Harrison taking off a valuable 5lb.
