Getaway Vic²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Dylan Johnston⁽⁵⁾| T: P & M Bowen| CD

5/4

£20,000 5-y-o, Getaway gelding. Dam, 17f-2½m hurdle/chase winner (stayed 4m), closely related to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 25f) Victoria Bay. Off mark in Irish points at third attempt in May and followed up in nice fashion over C&D a month ago. Big player under a penalty.

Form: P5-11

King Roly²⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen

9/1

Out of a bumper winner and showed a bit to work on when fifth at Hereford in November. Not seen since and stablemate Getaway Vic looks more likely.

Form: 5-

Slide Rule^t⁷²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey

28/1

Champs Elysees gelding. Dam, bumper winner, half-sister to useful chaser (stayed 3m) Coningsby. Strong in the betting fitted with a tongue tie for debut but failed to meet expectations at Southwell in May.

Form: 7

Wozitworththewait

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Ben Jones| T: J Tickle

125/1

Linda's Lad gelding. Dam ran once in bumper/made frame sole start over hurdles.

Form:

All Well And Good³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy

10/3

Mukhadram gelding. Dam 7f/1m winner. Certainly bred to be sharp and patiently ridden, he showed plenty to work on when second over C&D a month ago. That puts him right in the mix.

Form: 2

Loki's Mischief²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: David Noonan| T: Mrs J Williams

7/1

No Risk At All gelding. Dam, 17f-2¼m hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to useful hurdler/high-class chaser (stayed 3¼m) Ajas (by No Risk At All). 2¾ lengths second of 10 to Getaway Vic in bumper at this C&D on debut last month. Shouldn't be much between them on these terms.

Form: 2

Lucky In Taipan

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien

9/1

Lucky Speed gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Golden Taipan. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (2m/17f winner) Dominican Monk. Noteworthy newcomer for successful yard.

Form:

Secret Vino

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Miss Gina Andrews| T: T Ellis

66/1

Schiaparelli gelding. Dam (c110/h108), 19f-21f hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 25f) Actinpieces.

Form:

Targa Blue^v1

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: N de Boinville| T: T Ward

25/1

Intello gelding. Dam 1¼m winner who stayed 13f. Wears visor for debut and interesting to see what the market makes of him (predominantly Flat yard).

Form:

Theatre Of Flight³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

12/1

Mukhadram gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including useful hurdler Nadaitak and modest 2m chase winner Alghazaal. Dam 1¼m winner. Ignored in the betting but displayed ability when keeping on for fourth starting out over C&D a month ago.

Form: 4

Trawler

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: David Bass| T: F Brennan

150/1

Second foal, dam, ran once on Flat, from good family that includes Poule d'Essai des Poulains and Prix d'Isaphan winner Green Tune.

Form:

Uncle Lester

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland

33/1

Starspangledbanner gelding. Dam, maiden on Flat (stayed 7f), half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 23f) The Black Russian.

Forecasts

Getaway Vic (5/4), All Well And Good (10/3), Loki's Mischief (7/1), Lucky In Taipan (9/1), King Roly (9/1), Theatre Of Flight (12/1), Targa Blue (25/1), Slide Rule (28/1), Uncle Lester (33/1), Secret Vino (66/1), Wozitworththewait (125/1), Trawler (150/1)

GETAWAY VIC looked an uncomplicated ride when powering away to make a winning Rules debut here a month, and while a penalty makes life harder, he may well be up to the challenge. Loki's Mischief was 2¾ lengths behind the selection that day and is entitled to finish closer this time, with Targa Blue perhaps the pick of the newcomers.
