FormscanBy John O'Riordan - JOURNEY WITH ME arrives here fresher than most, having skipped the earlier Spring festivals. The Henry De Bromhead trained gelding easily landed a Grade 3 Chase at Naas last month, having finished a close up second to a subsequent Cheltenham winner on his previous outing. Stepping up to 3m for the first time over fences is also a positive factor for the Robcour owned seven-year-old. While Classic Getaway doesn't appear to be the Willie Mullins first string on paper, the Cheveley Park owned gelding very much catches the eye. A former point-to-point winner, he was an impressive winner on his chasing debut at Gowran in November and has proven that he runs well fresh. Sir Gerhard is arguably the class act in the line-up so is a real threat if over his Fairyhouse run.
A novice steeplechase for five years old and upwards
