Almost Gotaway (5.15, NAP) looks well treated for his debut in the sphere as he faces 10 rivals for the Follow Vickers.Bet On Twitter Handicap Hurdle at Ffos Las on Sunday.
Nicky Martin’s son of Getaway showed ability on his sole outing in a Newton Abbot bumper last year.
Moving into maiden hurdles this year, he was a decent third at Exeter and then an even better second at Warwick when he was suited by the step up in trip.
He seems to possess untapped potential to improve past a British Horseracing Authority rating of 90 and will be suited by another furlong here too.
At Aintree in the Jewson St Helens Old Roan Limited Handicap Chase, DO YOUR JOB (2.40, nb) cand do just that for trainer Michael Scudamire.
He is a rangy sort who showed useful form over hurdles (was second in Grade 1 at today's course) and took his form to a new level over fences last season, his jumping faultless as he landed the Grade 2 Future Champions' at Ayr in April.
He is well worth a second look and also has a good record fresh.
