Verdict

GETAWAY MASTER is 2 lb lower than when successful over Drop Kick here last year, and he may be able to confirm that form with the benefit of a comeback run. Is She Now looks a danger over hurdles for first time since joining current yard, with Royal Rhythm and Fourofakind others to consider in an open race.

Getaway Master (Ire) silk

Saw off Drop Kick with ease over C&D last November. Promised more than he delivered final start last season before being given a considerate return to action at Cartmel (25f) in late-August. Now 2 lb below his latest winning mark and makes plenty of appeal with Brian Hughes aboard for first time.

Drop Kick (Ire) silk

Low-mileage 5-y-o. Improved when successful on handicap debut over C&D last November. Placed on 4 subsequent handicap starts (including couple of good efforts here) prior to a forgivable end-of-season run on heavy ground at Hexham. Solid claims if ready to roll.

Is She Now (Ire) silk

Thrived on the Flat after joining current yard this summer (successful 3 times). Busy spell probably a factor for first misstep at Musselburgh in late-August. Given 8-week break and looks potentially interesting on first hurdle run for present stable.
