Forecasts

Governor Green (3/1), Getaway Tom (4/1), Sassified (9/2), Dusky Days (13/2), Enthused (8/1), Getaman (9/1), Lookingdandy (9/1), Mutual Respect (11/1), Iceman Dennis (11/1), Imperial Sun (18/1), Fort Nelson (25/1), Horse Power (40/1)

Verdict

GETAMAN returned to action with a solid second in a handicap chase at Warwick where he pulled well clear of the rest and, if able to reproduce form akin to that back over hurdles off a 7 lb lower mark, he will surely go close. Next on the list is Getaway Tom, who shaped as though dropping back to this trip would be in his favour when fifth at Exeter. Governor Green, who did the job well at Bangor last month, and handicap-debutant Imperial Sun are others to consider.

  1. GETAMAN (IRE)
  2. GETAWAY TOM (IRE)
  3. GOVERNOR GREEN (IRE)
