Matty's Getaway
Selected at: 5/4

Matty’s Getaway bumped into Supreme Novices’ Hurdle runner-up Sober Glory at Chepstow in November but took a big step forward next time to win impressively and get the better of Dalston Lad, who went on to win a Grade 2. That form is hard to knock and another big run is expected.
