Forecasts

Getaway Charlie (5/4), Bob The Builder (3/1), Fantasio D'alene (11/2), Inchiquin Maid (9/1), Alvarez Eclipse (9/1), Gonedairy (10/1), The Kids Choice (11/1), Meyo (14/1), Kayce Dutton (16/1), What A Flirth (25/1), Jimmyies Dream (25/1), I See Fog (40/1), Getaway George (40/1), As You Do (40/1), Wilmeaulpalwinbos (50/1), Augeron (125/1)

GETAWAY CHARLIE left previous hurdling efforts behind when third in a novice at Punchestown a month ago and, in a weaker race, he might be able to open his account if he can build on that. Bob The Builder looks the danger based on form in this sphere but point winner The Kids Choice also warrants a mention.
