Little to shout about over both sets of obstacles for this yard, tailed off home turn returning from 7 months off when last of 18 in handicap hurdle (100/1) at Naas (18.8f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Hard to warm to returned to chasing. Cheekpieces back on.

5/1
One win from 27 NH runs. Beaten only narrowly on penultimate start and may of found race coming too soon when seventh of 11 in handicap chase (4/1) at Limerick (24.7f, soft) 21 days ago. Could bounce back.

Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Not figured in maiden/graded company over fences but this switch to handicaps rates a plus and confidence behind him in the betting would look significant.

Ran well when placed in handicaps at Kilbeggan/Tramore before a lesser effort when fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Downpatrick (23.7f, good to soft, 10/1) in October. Certainly not out of things if ready to roll back from 6 months off.

33/1, offered little after 11 months off when eleventh of 15 in handicap chase at Limerick (22.8f, good to soft) 31 days ago, brief headway after 4 out but never a threat. This should reveal more.

First run since leaving Ciaran Murphy when tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good to soft, 66/1) 14 days ago. Essentially has it to prove now attentions switch to handicaps back over larger obstacles.

9/2
Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Fifteenth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Naas (23.6f, good to soft, 33/1) 10 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Blinkers back on. Others more persuasive.

Winning pointer who could only run to a poor level when last seen under Rules during 2023. Hasn't been pulling up any trees between the Flags more recently and percentage call to look elsewhere now starting out for new yard.

Course winner. Fifth of 8 in handicap chase at this course (20.4f, good to soft, 8/1) 82 days ago. Step back up in trip probably in his favour now.

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fifth of 15 in handicap chase (16/1) at Limerick (22.8f, good to soft) 31 days ago, plugging on. Each-way possibilities back up in trip.

Forecasts

Tangental (9/2), Important Message (9/2), Made In The Woods (5/1), Getaway King (5/1), Smitty Bacall (15/2), School Lane (15/2), College Causeway (8/1), Fire Force (14/1), Rust To Riches (22/1), Riggs (50/1)

Verdict

No depth to this finale and it may pay to take a chance on GETAWAY KING. He's failed to figure in a trio of starts over fences since the turn of the year, yet he was a lightly raced winner in points, and this switch to handicaps can see Shark Hanlon's 7-y-o in a much better light. Made In The Woods and Smitty Bacall are others to consider.
