GETASTAR has been gelded since finishing third in a bumper at Ffos Las in October. The first two home have both subsequently won over hurdles so the form looks solid enough and Peter Bowen’s charge is preferred to Not Sure and Little Else. Both newcomers should be noted in the betting representing powerful yards as Montys Medoc is a half-brother to a couple of winners and Name In Lights cost €90,000.
