Verdict

It's over two years since DEPLOY THE GETAWAY won a point at Tallow by 20 lengths after which he was bought for £200,000 at the sales. He made all that day and had his rivals in so much trouble that only three finished and he could be an exciting prospect. Banbridge couldn't quite get to Undersupervision in a Loughanmore point in October but the winner landed a novices' hurdle for Nigel Twiston-Davies at Hereford next time. Kings Keeper hasn't done much wrong in his two starts, the first a maiden hurdle at Limerick and the latest in a Tramore bumper while State Of Fame will improve for his run here last month. Complete Unknown has a cracking pedigree and came in for support on his debut at Cocklebarrow last January but unseated his rider.
