Forecasts

Deploy The Getaway (8/15), Kings Keeper (4/1), Mahons Glory (11/2), Dutch Schultz (7/1), Rodney Bay (8/1), Happy Victory (16/1), Colwinston (25/1), Viceregent (28/1), Khanmurjan (40/1), Tyre Kicker (50/1), Barranco (66/1), Money Heist (66/1), Copia Verborum (100/1), Clonmoyle (100/1), True Destiny (125/1), Jazzelle (125/1), Dromod Lad (150/1), Like A G Six (200/1), Gladys Emmanuel (200/1)

DEPLOY THE GETAWAY has run to a fairly useful level when placed in a couple of similar events this winter and is fancied to make it third time lucky in this sphere. Kings Keeper ran well for second at Limerick over Christmas and could give the selection most to think about ahead of Mahons Glory. Music of Tara would also very much enter the reckoning if getting a run.
