A wide open contest where GETAWAY JOHN can get back to winning ways following defeat here last month over 2m4f and will relish the step back up in trip on his way to running in either of the Martin Pipe or Coral Cup at the festival. Gigginstown House Stud-owned Smoking Gun can emerge as the biggest danger on the back of an impressive win at Gowran Park last month off an 8lb lower mark. Dawn Raider who holds entries in the Pertemps and Coral Cup at the festival is capable of hitting the frame while, the Jessica Harrington-trained Another Barney was well backed before going lame in a Naas contest in January and is worth noting in the betting.
- Getaway John
- Smoking Gun
