Verdict
GETAWAY TRUMP needs forgiving a poor run at Cheltenham but earlier form gives him every chance of beating Stratford scorer Happygolucky off level weights if the cheekpieces have the desired effect. Limited Reserve ended last season in fine form over hurdles, including victory in a Grade 3 handicap at Sandown, though today’s going may be too quick. Canyon City was let down by his jumping here last month when making his chasing bow but he should have learned from that.
