Getaway Frankie

Jockey: Harry Reed Trainer: Tristan Davidson Age/Wt: 6/11-7 F: 4P-P1 OR: 101

Comment: Pulled up on both hurdling starts for Nicky Richards this spring, but displayed a huge jolt of improvement to cause a 40-1 surprise on recent stable debut at Hexham (2m, good to soft); likely contender under penalty.

Comment: Came from a long way off the pace to beat Imperial Data in quite valuable series final at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in March, her fifth hurdling success; current mark demands a career-best performance but she ran well over this C&D last summer and might be keeping on when others have cried enough.

Comment: Kept on well for narrow success at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) this month, opening her hurdling account at the eighth attempt; will be fine on the forecast slower ground and further progress is possible if combination of drop back in trip and first-time cheekpieces has positive effect.

Comment: Yet to win for current stable but gave good account when third (just behind Arthur's Quay) here (2m1f, good to soft) five weeks ago and ought to be better suited by this longer trip; effective on soft ground (unraced on heavy); major player.

Comment: Won on chasing debut for Henry de Bromhead in 2023 but became disappointing for that stable and was sold for £5,000 last month; needs to have been revitalised by recent regime change.

Comment: Running well for Ryan Potter this time last year including a win from 6lb lower at Market Rasen (2m5f, good); more downs than ups in his last few starts and proved a disappointing favourite when fourth of six finishers on stable/seasonal debut here (2m5f, soft) on Friday.
