Getoutwhenyoucan gets the call here ahead of Phar From Frosty and Windy Spirit. The Martin Pipe-trained selection makes his chasing debut but is bred for the game and, having achieved a rating in the low 100s when scoring over hurdles, looks to be an obvious player today. Windy Spirit is more exposed but he was not far behind the selection on hurdling ratings and has matched that over fences, so will not lack for experience, He is respected, as is Phar From Frosty, although he has five lengths to find on Windy Spirit based on their Southwell runs last time. That said, he was the best of these over hurdles and may have needed his last two runs after a long spell on the sidelines. With Kings Linen looking best of the rest, we return to the selection, which is Getoutwhenyoucan.
