Forecasts

The Big Getaway (4/7), You Raised Me Up (7/2), Fury Road (9/2), Sizing Pottsie (5/1), Cayd Boy (6/1), Sixshooter (8/1)

Verdict

He cost connections a fair penny but The Big Getaway was turned over on debut, taking a while to get up to full speed and maybe suggesting he'll excel over further. He should improve, but this is no easy task. Fury Road and Sixshooter are excellent prospects for Gigginstown House while Galway Festival scorer You Raised Me Up can go well for Jamie Codd despite a lack of match fitness. A chance is taken with Limerick winner CAYD BOY, from a less fashionable stable, but impressive that day and with one Derek O'Connor taking over this time.
  1. Cayd Boy
  2. The Big Getaway
  3. You Raised Me Up
