22nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Took a long time to open his account but won four times in cheekpieces (2m3f-2m4f) on ground slower than good last season; already back down to a workable mark and made a fairly encouraging reappearance on good ground 12 days ago but the cheekpieces are missing again here. |

10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Took a long time to open his account but won four times in cheekpieces (2m3f-2m4f) on ground slower than good last season; already back down to a workable mark but the forecast good ground is probably not ideal on this first start since April, and the cheekpieces are missing. |

24th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Still a maiden and this season has been a game of two halves, with his second-place finishes in November preceding a couple of poor efforts; doesn't look as if he's about to get off the mark. |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 2f 40y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Disappointing favourite when back over hurdles last month but came second in two soft-ground chases in November (2m/2m4f) and will be on the premises if quickly back on song in first-time cheekpieces. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
0-7 over hurdles but hasn't been with current stable long and was clear second to a big improver at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last month; today's 4lb higher mark is manageable if he jumps soundly on this chasing debut. |

2nd 5 |
28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Made favourite for stable debut at Warwick (2m, good) in May but found things happening too quickly and was a never-dangerous fourth; moves back up in trip here, though, and may yet find some form for Ben Pauling. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Hereford winner over fences (2m5f, good to soft) in 2024 who was also second over hurdles at Plumpton (3m1f, good) that year; missed 2025 and fell on his stable debut in February but there were signs he retained ability despite finishing last of five here (about 2m5f, soft) last month; possibilities in a thin event. |
9/2 |

5th 4 |
14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Chase winner for Pat Murphy; was entitled to have needed his recent stable debut after almost two years off but was weakening out of it at Plumpton, behind Junior Des Mottes, when coming down at the second last. |
8/1 |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
2m5f chase winner and has the better form in that discipline, but he's not yet fully exposed over hurdles and his 7l second over C&D in May 2024 was a fair effort on final start for Pat Murphy; makes stable debut returning from a long absence and probably best watched. |

19th Feb 2026 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Longstanding maiden who hasn't been showing much for a while now; plenty to find with Kellebelle on latest run; visor now tried. |
14/1 |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Maiden who is out of the weights and can hardly appeal on recent efforts but she did at least finish close up over C&D last April and has dropped a long way in the weights since; visor added (often wears cheekpieces). |
20/1 |
Verdict
A solid season for GETAWAY WITH YOU has come at a cost mark-wise but that might not matter too much in a race with such little depth. Nedzor is the most likely danger, provided he can bounce back from a poor latest run. Amalfi Skyline has form claims but a long absence to overcome.[Alistair Jones]
