Coming Up Easy³⁷⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D Roche⁽⁵⁾| T: H De Bromhead

10/1

€30,000 3-y-o, Califet gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser Pencilfulloflead, stays 25f. Third on sole start between the flags and he's an intriguing candidate.

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins| BF

1/1

Promising type. Second of 9 in bumper at Leopardstown (16f, soft, evens) on NH debut 84 days ago. Open to improvement.

20/1

Mahler gelding. Brother to fair hurdler Cats For Cash. Winner of latest start in maiden points but overall record in that sphere isn't compelling.

3/1

£60,000 5-y-o, Fame And Glory gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful 2¾m/25f chase winner True Faith. Runner-up on latest start in maiden points and needs close attention in the betting on Rules debut.

Form: 4-2

Getaway George

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr F Maguire| T: Mrs S Dawson

100/1

Getaway gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/very smart chaser Aye Right and fair chaser Theatre Dreams, stayed 2¾m. Probably best watched on debut all the same.

Form:

Forecasts

Did I Ask You That (1/1), Mint Boy (11/4), Farren Glory (3/1), Coming Up Easy (10/1), Extrapolation (20/1), Comeonarchie (25/1), Boldog (40/1), Lucky Two (50/1), Getaway George (100/1), Augusta George (100/1), Jimli's Cave (125/1)

This is likely to go the way of DID I ASK YOU THAT, who was collared in the shadow of the post on debut at Leopardstown on Boxing Day, in turn pulling clear of the rest. Farren Glory and Coming Up Easy both showed ability between the flags and, having joined top yards, they are likely contenders starting out under Rules here, with the former feared most.
