Young Getaway
Won a maiden hurdle at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) last February and went close in a novice hurdle here (2m, good) next time; makes chase/handicap debut following a year off but with his trainer in phenomenal form; could have a big part to play, especially if strong in the betting.

Prominent on inner - switched right and headway approaching last - challenging last - switched left and repeatedly short of room run-in - stayed on and went second final strides(tchd 11/10)
Won the novice hurdle (2m, good) on this card 12 months ago; he needs to improve upon what he produced in two handicap hurdles in February but the return to Hexham could help and he might be suited by the switch to fences.

Download The Vickers.Bet App Novices' Hurdle (Novices' Championship Hurdle Series Qualifier) (GBB)
Towards rear - not fluent 3rd - outpaced after 3 out - never dangerous (jockey said - regarding running and riding - that his instructions were to get gelding settled - in a good jumping rhythm and to do his best; when he asked his mount for an effort down back straight - he felt gelding initially quickened from second last hurdle before weakening up the hill approaching last hurdle and staying on at one pace - making no ground on front runners and in his opinion obtained best possible placing; he added that gelding may have been unsuited by the going on this occasion - which was officially described as heavy - soft in places and in his opinion was particularly testing)(op 8/1)
His best form has come on soft/heavy ground which is unlikely to prevail today and he's failed to threaten the winner when second at Ayr (2m4f, soft) on his last two starts; however, those were still positive performances and he may benefit from the drop back in trip; not discounted.

There was no return to form on his two starts this winter; arrives with plenty to prove but he's down to a dangerous mark and, if he is to stage a revival, it's likely to be here where he's posted both victories.

Two wins over 2m4f here (good) last year and he's run well in third in 2m4f contests at Carlisle (good to soft) and Haydock (good) on his last two starts; has been shaping as though this drop back in trip could be a positive and he's firmly in calculations.

Poor form in bumpers and over hurdles, and his jumping wasn't great when third on recent chase debut at Sedgefield (2m, good); from out of the handicap he's 4lb higher than last time but there was some promise in that performance and he's open to further improvement if finding greater fluency.
