Son Of Getaway Impresses On Return

Monday saw Robelli (6g Getaway - Marhab Dancer, by Oscar) defy a long lay-off to win the two mile bumper at Ayr in comfortable fashion.

The Ian Williams-trained bay has not be seen since his debut in December 2019, when he finished sixth behind Wilde About Oscar, who went on to win his first two starts over hurdles in fine style.

Tom Scudamore rode him to track the leader, taking over from halfway and was going much the best with three furlongs left to race. Clear a furlong later, he was ridden out to score by three and a quarter lengths with ease, as the favourite did their best to narrow the gap.

Owned by John Nicholls Racing and bred by Malachy Travers, Robelli becomes the first winner out of the mare Marhab Dancer.
