7/1
Dual hurdles winner who showed improved form to make a winning chase debut at Newton Abbot (16.3f) in August. Similar form in defeat next 3 starts and whilst he didn't look likely to feature when falling here (19f) in December, he's not ruled out back down in trip.

5/1
Versatile sort who resumed winning ways at Newcastle (20.1f) in November. However, has found things much tougher since, never dangerous when seventh of 12 in handicap chase at Wetherby (19.4f, soft) 18 days ago.

14/1
Veteran who has been lightly raced since scoring at Wetherby (15f, heavy) last winter but ran well after 11 months off when third at Lingfield (20f) in December. Unseated too far out to suggest how he would have fared at Wetherby 18 days ago but he's worth a second look. Cheekpieces discarded.

10/3
Made an immediate impact switched to chasing, successful on 2 of his first 3 starts last spring. Wasn't shaping up at all badly during the autumn, again not so strong at the finish when fifth in handicap chase at Warwick (20f) in November. Had wind op since and shortlisted back down in trip.

11/2
Progressive winning chaser in early 2023, successful 3 times at up to 17f. Looked badly in need of the run after 20 months off when pulled up in a C&D handicap 67 days ago but yard amongst the winners and this promises to reveal more.

7/4
Fair winner at 19f over hurdles here and similar form over fences, solid start for new yard equipped with a first-time hood when second in a C&D handicap in December. Subsequent Huntingdon run was disappointing but a return to this venue is a plus.

Forecasts

Tommy Cullen (7/4), God's Own Getaway (10/3), Glory And Honour (5/1), Snowy Clouds (11/2), Hidalgo De L'isle (7/1), Gallic Geordie (14/1)

Verdict

Each of GOD'S OWN GETAWAY's previous victories have come over longer trips, yet the way he travels suggests he's worth a crack at this shorter distance and he could be worth siding with from a reduced mark on the back of wind surgery. Veteran Gallic Geordie and Tommy Cullen back at Doncaster are the dangers.

  1. God's Own Getaway10/3
  2. Gallic Geordie14/1
  3. Tommy Cullen7/4
