Gateway To Europe²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Bryony Frost| T: N B King| OR: 123| BF| CD

9/2

Handicap/novice winner over hurdles year and knocking on the door in handicaps this summer. Isn't an obvious one to excel over fences on looks.

Form: 45-5423

Getaway Trump²⁶¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 151WS

30/100

Very smart novice hurdler in 2018/19, winning 4 times. Not at the same level when third in a pair of novice chases and last seen pulling up in the Christmas Hurdle. This a good starting point.

Form: 411/33P-

Ga Law¹⁸⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

8/1

Fairly useful form when winning 12-runner juvenile at Argentan on hurdling debut easily by 7½ lengths. Left Gabriel Leenders for €100,000 but backed out of quickly on stable debut in March. Chase bow.

Form: 16-

Forecasts

Getaway Trump (30/100), Gateway To Europe (9/2), Ga Law (8/1)

Last season was a bit of a write-off for GETAWAY TRUMP, but this is a very suitable opening for him to restore confidence before his sights are raised. Ga Law receives all of the allowances on chase debut and can follow the selection home.
