Winner of novice handicap hurdle at Southwell last January and stepped up on low-key chase debut when third in 10-runner contest at Fontwell (21.6f, good) a fortnight ago, albeit his customary lazy streak was again in evidence. On a good mark and strong claims granted a reproduction of that.

Won an Irish point and made the frame 3 times over hurdles for Dan Skelton last term. Yet to trouble the judge following half-a-dozen appearances in this sphere and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Only minor promise in a couple of bumpers and will need to leave his hurdles form well behind now switched to fences if he's to make an impact.

5/1
Five-time winner between the flags and posted best effort to date under Rules when fourth in a 7-runner hunter at Leicester last February. Wouldn't need to improve too much on that in order to play a leading role on this handicap debut.

11/4
Point winner but remains a maiden under Rules after 17 runs. Would have a serious chance if able to reproduce form akin to his placed efforts at Fontwell and this C&D during the autumn when 8 lb higher in the weights. Perhaps the cheekpieces he sports for the first time will have a positive effect.

Poor maiden on balance and he failed to complete on sole previous start in this sphere back in August 2023.

Forecasts

Sangiovese (5/2), Getupearly (11/4), Micro Millions (7/2), The Whistle Blower (5/1), One Man Party (15/2), Grand Sabre (18/1)

Verdict

If the addition of cheekpieces has the desired effect GETUPEARLY will surely go close, now 8 lb below the mark off which he found just one too good in a couple of handicap chases during the autumn. Sangiovese is not one to rely on but if he backs up his latest effort he will be a threat, while The Whistle Blower is also accorded respect now pitched into a handicap.

  1. Getupearly11/4
  2. Sangiovese5/2
  3. The Whistle Blower5/1
