Dublin Racing Festival tips: two at a big price for Sunday

Best odds: 16-1.

He hasn't been the easiest to train, but there's no doubting Classic Getaway has plenty of class, and he should be capable of running a big race on his first start in handicap company here.

Cheveley Park Stud's £570,000 purchase showed bundles of promise over hurdles a couple of years ago before embarking on a chasing career, and while he endured lengthy absences before each of his first three outings over fences, he's produced a good level of form.

His victory in a Listed contest at Thurles in November where he defeated 156-rated stablemate Haut En Couleurs (the classy French Dynamite finished third) reads well, and Classic Getaway won that contest with a bit to spare.

His jumping over the larger obstacles hasn't always been fluent, so switching to hurdles may be a wise move. He looks to have a few pounds in hand, at the very least, off a rating of 128 here, and a strongly-run contest over two miles should prove ideal for him.

He's only seven, so there's a good chance he still has more to offer, too, and Donagh Meyler has a near 20 per cent strike-rate when teaming up with Emmet Mullins.
