GETAROUND is the only one of these to have run in the calendar year and he was very impressive making his hurdling debut at Exeter in March when winning by 14 lengths. A bumper winner previously, Ella Pickard’s novice should make short work of today’s opposition despite his penalty. Maurice Barnes’ yard is beginning to show signs of life so Farocco could be the one for forecast-backers.
