GETABIRD, who cost 200,000 euros after winning a point at Largy in April, could hardly have made a more impressive start in a Fairyhouse bumper last month. He probably didn't beat much and faces a tougher time here against Hardline. Gordon Elliott reverts him back to a bumper after two falls over timber, both times when travelling well, and it would be no surprise if he gave the likely short-priced favourite a hard time. La Guerra was beaten a very long way on his recent debut at Cork while Kittyhawkkay was beaten even further on her only start at Fairyhouse last March.
