Verdict

A good-quality course maiden. OLD HABITS will ideally be suited by further in due course, especially being by Malinas, but his bumper form reads well and he's fancied to strike at the first time of asking over hurdles on that basis. Get Out Of My Way is another respected hurdling newcomer having also done some good work in bumpers, while similar comments apply to Kershaw, who's changed hands since his win at Kilbeggan in April.

4	Picked up for €40,000 after finishing third in an Irish point and he marked himself down as a good prospect when forging clear to land a Southwell bumper (15.8f) in December. Showed even better form when second at Ayr 5 months on and is an interesting hurdling newcomer. 1st Pick 4 Old Habits (Ire) Jockey: Sean Bowen Trainer: Olly Murphy J: Sean Bowen T: Olly Murphy	100	-	-	-	50%

1	€105,000 Getaway gelding. Brother to useful hurdlers Tripoli Flyer and Anyharminasking and looked cut from a similar cloth when making a promising winning debut at Market Rasen in December. Built on that promise when second of 10 in a Newbury listed event and rates a useful hurdling prospect. 2nd Pick 1 Get Out Of My Way (Ire) Jockey: J. Hogan Trainer: Fergal O'brien J: J.

2	Runner up in a point and progressed plenty from his opening effort in bumpers to score at Kilbeggan (2m) in April, value for a shade extra having led early enough in a soundly-run race. Since left Paul Traynor's yard and must enter the reckoning on hurdling/stable debut. 3rd Pick 2 Kershaw (Ire) Jockey: Derek Fox Trainer: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore J: Derek Fox T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	93	-	-	-	29%
