Off the mark over hurdles in April and winner of 2 of his 5 starts since resuming in this sphere, including at Worcester last month. Only gone up 2 lb but he clearly has an affinity with that track (4 wins and 5 second places from 11 starts at Worcester) and this is a stronger race.
|
Multiple hurdles winner who opened his account at first time of asking in this sphere when taking 6-runner handicap at Hexham (15.6f, good to soft) in May. 9 lb rise tolerable and should go close if the blinkers he wore for the first time at Hexham work equally well second time round.
|
Dual winner over hurdles and improved for the switch to fences when scoring at Bangor and Sedgefield last summer. Disappointing all 3 starts since, though, including when returning from a 6-month absence at Perth in June.
|
Successful at Ayr in March and returned to form in this headgear combination when scoring in good style at Cartmel early last month. Subsequent second (clear of the rest) to a progressive type at Bangor (17.4f, good) was no backward step and he's a key player.
|
Confirmed promise of his stable debut when winning 4-runner handicap chase at Aintree (15.8f, good) last June. Went down all guns blazing at Perth the following month and while his subsequent absence is a slight concern, he will be a threat if ready to roll.
|
Enhanced good strike rate over hurdles when registering fourth success in that sphere at Newcastle last November. However, it's been a struggle in 3 starts since returning from a break, including when well adrift of Elios d'Or on his chase debut at Worcester.

Forecasts
Fringill Dike (85/40), Getaway Luv (5/2), Fearless (11/2), Elios D'Or (13/2), Master Malachy (8/1), Lucky Lover Boy (10/1)
GETAWAY LUV has returned to his best in this headgear combination of late and earns preference ahead of Fringill Dike, who was a stylish winner in first-time blinkers on his chase debut in May and is greatly respected, despite going up 9 lb. Fearless could have a part to play if all is well following a 13-month absence but Elios d'Or looks vulnerable in what is a stronger race than the one he landed at Worcester last time.
