9/4

Lightly-raced 7-y-o who bettered his hurdles form at second attempt in this sphere when successful at this C&D over Christmas. Excellent placed efforts both starts since and likely to go well again down in class.

Form: 16-4132

9/2

Largely creditable efforts over hurdles/fences since joining this yard, deservedly opened his account for the stable when seeing off 4 rivals back from a break over hurdles here in December. Needs to shrug off a below par effort here next time, though.

Form: 6-42315

God's Own Getaway¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 111| C

7/2

Made an immediate impact switched to chasing, successful on 2 of his first 3 starts last spring. Not at best last 2 starts 4 months off but type to bounce back.

13/8

Proved reliable over hurdles, making the frame on several occasions. Very much a chaser on looks and pedigree but fell heavily on debut in this sphere at Wetherby. However, showed he was none the worse when decent third at Huntingdon and entitled to do better again.

RUMOURSAREFLYING remains a long-standing maiden but he's unexposed in this sphere and gets the nod after his eye-catching third at Huntingdon. Denemethy has improved for the switch to fences this season and rates a serious threat down in class.
