DOWNTOWN GETAWAY has switched yards since last in action. He was winning at Ffos Las in December and is clear of these at the weights in a weak hunters’ chase. Diable De Sivola is next best on these terms though has yet to win over fences in 18 attempts and Just Cause may prove a bigger threat back under Rules having rattled-up a hat-trick between the flags recently. Vango De Vaige has also been in decent form in point-to-points and looks best of the rest.
