18/1

Useful chaser who has finished first and second in the last 2 runnings of this. Won in France in November and this a bit easier than the Tramore Grade 3 he contested on New Year's Day.

Form: 3F27-16

Form: 76P-407

Classic Getaway⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 156

4/6

Very smart chaser. Too much pressure placed on his jumping when pulled up in a big-field handicap at Dublin Racing Festival but in good form in small-field listed/Grade 3 events prior to that and he's a potential class act here.

Form: D/14-12P

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Slevin| T: M Brassil| OR: 150| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Six wins from 23 NH runs. Possibly amiss when pulled up in handicap chase (40/1) at Gowran (25f, heavy) 52 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Form: U1U-95P

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Ewing| T: S R B Crawford| OR: 130| C

18/1

Useful chaser. Course winner. 16/1, might have needed the run when seventh of 10 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (21.5f, soft) 14 days ago. Back up in trip. Place shout if back to best.

Form: 163P-57

CLASSIC GETAWAY's jumping couldn't cope with the hurly burly of a big-field handicap chase at Leopardstown last month but his form in listed/Grade 3 races prior to that makes him a standout here. The selection's stablemate Mr Incredible would rate the main danger if turning up here rather than Uttoxeter on Saturday. Roi Mage has a good record in this race and looks best of the rest.
