GETAWAY TRUMP hasn’t raced since pulled up in last year’s Christmas Hurdle but he’s an exciting prospect for chasing and should have few problems facing only two rivals here. Gateway To Europe placed twice over hurdles last month and won over the smaller obstacles here last month so makes more appeal than the four-year-old Ga Law, though he lacks the class of the selection.
Gateway To Europe 3-1fav (11-1) Held up towards rear, niggled along after 2nd, reminder after 6th, pushed along after 3 out, switched wide to challenge approaching 2 out, kept on one pace after last, 3rd of 9, 6 3/4l behind Chapmanshype (11-10) at Fontwell 2m 3f hcp (2) gd in Aug.
Getaway Trump (IRE) 16-1 (11-7) Held up in mid-division, headway chasing leaders before 4th, weakened after 3 out, behind and pulled up before 2 out, at Kempton 2m (1) sft in Dec.
Ga Law (FR) 6-1 (11-4) Led until approaching 2nd, lead again before 5th, headed approaching last, soon weakened, 6th of 8, 11l behind The Pink'n (11-4) at Stratford 2m 3f (3) sft in Mar.
