Boom Boom started favourite but was beaten 15 lengths in the race won by LEAVE OF ABSENCE at Kempton though still makes more appeal than stablemate Hurricane Le Dun, who was a very disappointing favourite at Doncaster. Bubble Dubi looked one-paced at Huntingdon but newcomer Getaway With You is worth a market check being a half-brother to three winners. Scotch On Da Rocks, by Fame And Glory and a half-brother to a winning hurdler in Ireland, won a point last year and should have the pace for this but fitness will have to be taken on trust.
