In depth

Verdict

GET ME OUT OF HERE deserves to land a nice prize after three excellent runs, the latest when runner-up to Son Of Flicka in the Coral Cup when conceding 20lb. This is another stiff task with Oscars Well in particular a worthy opponent after his fine run behind Rock On Ruby in the Champion Hurdle but the concession of 7lb to Jonjo O'Neill's charge may be just beyond him. The Real Article has had a break since a couple of moderate efforts in Grade 1 company in December but he'll appreciate the quicker ground and should go well while Oilily burst back to form at Cork last time and her allowances will be a bonus.
