No Getaway^p,t⁴⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Toby Wynne⁽⁵⁾| T: R L Llewellyn| OR: 118| D

5/2

Bounced back to form to open his account for the yard at the third attempt in 3-runner hunter chase at Newton Abbot (21f, good) 49 days ago. Looks potentially well treated back in a handicap if in that kind of form.

Form: P3P/P4-1

Sholsang^t1³⁰⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Benjamin Poste| T: R Potter| OR: 114

18/1

Winning pointer. Second in a maiden chase in Ireland for David Christie last May but didn't get close to that level in 5 subsequent starts over there. Sets out for a new stable after an 8-month break. Tongue tied first time. Would need to see market support to consider.

Pawpaw^v⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 107

11/4

Career best when winning 9-runner handicap chase at Fontwell (21.6f, good to soft) in May. Ran poorly off 9 lb higher at Stratford next time and has since changed yards. Type to bounce back.

Form: 3213-14

Age: 11| Weight: 11-1| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 105| C| D

10/3

Prolific over fences last summer, winning 5 times. Heavy defeats last 5 starts, however.

Form: 336-265

Patagonia^p¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 93

5/2

Went close over fences at Wetherby in March but that remains very much a standout effort.

Form: 5/426-P8

Forecasts

No Getaway (5/2), Patagonia (5/2), Pawpaw (11/4), Judge Earle (10/3), Sholsang (18/1)

NO GETAWAY looked rejuvenated when winning a hunter at Newton Abbot and this represents a good opportunity for him to follow up back in a handicap. Pawpaw is a clear next best.
