Let favourite backers down at Wexford last time out over 2m when failed to build on previous run, likely to be popular again now but this extended trip is an unknown.

Very lightly-raced nine-year-old, has shown nothing in his three recent trips to the racecourse to merit consideration for win purposes.

8/11
Was staying on well over 2m4f at Wexford latest when only just denied in a maiden, this longer trip should suit if able to replicate or build on that improved effort.

Resounding loss in sole bumper outing at Limerick in December when never in contention and tailing off. Goes up significantly in distance for this first jumping test.

4/1
Significantly better effort last time when runner-up at Limerick, has been supported in the betting a few times and now makes a marked step up in trip, booking of Kennedy a positive sign again.

Nothing shown in two starts over hurdles to date has suggested she'll play a forward role in this contest. Much work to be done going up in distance.

5/1
Good runner-up in February in point-to-point debut and was booked for a win second time when coming down late on, stamina shouldn't be a concern and looks a force to reckon with on first rules start.

Forecasts

Getaway Kid (8/11), Lyreen Lad (4/1), Foxearth (5/1), Kygo (5/1), The B (33/1), Hazel Island (40/1), Lord Erskine (50/1), Old Meadow (66/1)

Verdict

Getaway Kid showed improved form at Wexford recently to go close over 2m4f and there's every reason to suggest he'll be suited by this further emphasis on stamina. Lyreen Lad also produced a better effort last time, though this 3m trip is something more of an unknown factor for him. Still, his trainer apparently rates him and he is respected again. Foxearth should be involved but he has already let his backers down and so a chance is taken with rules debutant KYGO, who had the race in his hands on second point-to-point outing in February only to come down two out and may make amends on his first visit to the racecourse proper.
