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.
