CLASSIC GETAWAY was unable to land the odds in a Grade 3 at Tramore on New Year's Day but he went like the best horse at the weights before seemingly stretched by conditions so is well worth another chance off what looks a fair opening mark. This is typically competitive, though, with Meetingofthewaters and Heart Wood heading the dangers.
