FormscanBy Tom Weekes - A NOD TO GETAWAY has finished second in two previous course handicap chase-runs and has good recent form. A dual hurdle winner and rated 14lb higher in that sphere, he is a six-race maiden over fences but has shown useful ability. He is suited by summer ground and stays well. Carlas Big Jim is himself rated 4lb higher over hurdles and while also somewhat unexposed over fences, would ideally prefer soft ground. Gaelic Des Chastys was an unlucky loser at Roscommon recently as his rider was subsequently suspended for dropping his hands. He holds obvious claims and is another contender with a lightly-raced chasing profile, but is 4lb higher today and has won just once from 26 career starts.
An extended handicap steeplechase for four years old and upwards rated 0-100Penalties - Winner of a steeplechase after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each steeplechase won.
