2/7
Off the mark in good style on second hurdles start at Huntingdon in November. Made it 2-4 in this sphere back from a break at Ludlow (15.8f, good to soft) recently and should prove hard to beat.

No show in a couple of bumpers and similar story both starts since switched to hurdles.

Modest in bumpers for Tom Symonds and well held in novice hurdles at Wincanton and Warwick since joining this yard.

Runner-up in the second of his 2 starts over hurdles in France in February 2019. Lengthy absence an obvious concern ahead of this British debut, but he needs a close look in the betting nonetheless.

Fairly useful maiden at best on Flat for Saeed bin Suroor in 2019. Shaped better than bare result on hurdles debut at Warwick last month, but he was too free at Southwell 10 days ago.

Showed a bit on hurdles bow in an ordinary maiden at Hexham in November, but subsequent display at Taunton represented a step in the wrong direction. Debut for new yard.

Sent off at 66/1 and finished nearer last than first starting out in a Ludlow bumper in October. Yard also saddles Rosierita.

Beaten out of sight in a pair of Warwick bumpers in 2019, and similar outcome predicted on this hurdles bow following an absence of almost 2 years.

Forecasts

Getaway Luv (2/7), L'Homme Presse (4/1), Just Toby (16/1), The Longest Day (22/1), Dads Legacy (25/1), Military Tactic (25/1), Hedgebird (50/1), Rosierita (150/1)

Verdict

Despite the fact that he's saddled with a double penalty, GETAWAY LUV is hard to oppose given the dearth of credible opposition. French-import L'Homme Presse is the only conceivable danger, but he is entitled to need the run following an absence of over 2 years. The Longest Day could be in line for minor place money.

  1. GETAWAY LUV (IRE)
  2. L'HOMME PRESSE (FR)
  3. THE LONGEST DAY (IRE)
