Fury Road⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Ms L O'Neill| T: G Elliott| D

9/2

Improved on debut form when scoring decisively at Fairyhouse (2m, good; 2-5f) last month for Lisa O'Neill. Likely to build on that run and will be a player here.

Form: 4151-

You Raised Me Up^t²⁷³

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J J Codd| T: M Brassil| OR: 119

7/2

Sent off 50-1 in a bumper at this meeting last year, only beaten just over 2L in fourth. Well-backed to win sole start since at Galway Festival (2m2½f, soft) in August; getting up late with Jamie Codd's help. Down in trip, not taken lightly.

Form: 534/1-

The Big Getaway⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins| BF

4/7

Purchased for £230,000 after easily winning point-to-point in March 2018. Runner-up on bumper debut at Navan in March, winner getting things his own way in front. Should improve and go close.

Form: 1-2

Sixshooter⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr M J O'Hare⁽³⁾| T: N Meade| D

8/1

Noel Meade's charge won a seven-runner bumper at Leopardstown (2m, soft; 11-8) on in March in good style. Likely improver, though this race is tougher.

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)

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.
