FormscanBy Tom Weekes - FAMILY GETAWAY was beaten long distances in hot maiden hurdles last winter but had shown some promise on debut and now contests a weak race. A half-sister to Listed-hurdle winner The Very Man, the selection needs to show more than on her completed starts but, notably in the context of today’s race, was only behind the leaders when falling at the third-last at Cork in November and is open to plenty more progression. Ellens Pride bagged a point-to-point success last November and while that form is unexciting, should compete. Clash Gold showed some ability at Tramore in April.
