Race preview
DEPLOY THE GETAWAY travelled well and looked all over a winner on his hurdling bow at Gowran before getting under the final flight and being collared close home by a more experienced rival. There was much to like about that seasonal reappearance and Willie Mullins' charge can confirm form with third home Harry Alonzo, who had the benefit of a run over hurdles going into that contest. Gordon Elliott trains the horse who beat the selection at Gowran and his point-to-point and bumper winner Glenglass looks a nice prospect and is an obvious danger. Whowonthetoss, fitted with a tongue-tie for the first time, wasn't beaten far by a useful type on his final start last term and is another who merits respect.
