Fair form when third in juvenile hurdle at Fontainebleau (17.6f) last October but has shown little in 4 starts for her current yard. Off a further 5 months since last seen with tongue strap on 1st time.

Won handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (21.5f) last summer, but well held on chase debut at Worcester next time and struggled for form since. Has dropped a long way in the weights but enough to prove at present.

Showed promise in first 4 starts over hurdles, again catching the eye in maiden at Sedgefield (19.9f) in May. Failed to improve when fifth on handicap debut at this course (23.9f) later the same month. Remains early days.

Fair in bumpers for Kim Bailey but has to yet to build on a promising first run over hurdles for this yard, tailed off when pulled up approaching 4 out in handicap at Worcester in May. Others preferred.

Showed ability sole outing in bumpers and improved on hurdling debut form when runner-up in maiden at Warwick (19f) in April, suited by step up in trip. Can continue progress now handicapping over an extra furlong.

Well held in bumper and fared little better in 3 qualifying runs over hurdles. However, also pulled up on handicap debut at Wincanton (21.4f) in March. Needs to leave previous efforts behind following 7 months off/wind op.

Performed with credit on several occasions over hurdles for Anthony McCann last season and stopped the slide for this yard when third in handicap at Fontwell (19.2f) last month. Fell early last time but could bounce back.

Ran better than distance beaten suggests when fourth in mares handicap at Uttoxeter (23.3f) last summer, taking strong hold. Failed to build on that effort next time though and off for 15 months since.

Maiden who ran one of her better races over hurdles when fifth of 13 in handicap at Worcester (2m) 17 days ago. Still makes limited appeal now upped in trip.

Forecasts

Almost Gotaway (5/2), Mise Raftaire (3/1), Rock The House (7/2), Shinobi (9/2), Emorelle (5/1), West Orchard (13/2), Havacuppa (12/1), Prince Cleni (12/1), Harde Fashion (18/1), Hashtag Val (40/1), Intriguing Lady (50/1)

Verdict

Having made an encouraging start over hurdles, ALMOST GOTAWAY was suited by the step up in trip when runner-up at Warwick on his next outing and he can continue his progress to make a winning handicap debut. The 5-y-o can get the better of Rock The House who ran well on his first outing for Katy Price 12 days ago, with Mise Raftaire completing the shortlist.
