Getupearly returned a beaten favourite at Hereford when second on his handicap debut but had earlier finished behind FAME AND CONCRETE (NAP) when the latter was runner-up in a maiden hurdle. Jonjo O’Neill’s charge has subsequently been beaten by a winner rated 127 and makes his handicap bow with every chance on that form. Hurricane Vichi went close over track and trip last month and can figure again while Aikenbreakinheart placed over fences at Fontwell recently but has a bit to find with San Pedro on earlier form over timber.
