Verdict
Willie Mullins has won the last two of these so Getaway Katie, who had a couple of runs over hurdles in 2017 for Paul Nolan before reverting to a bumper last month, is one to keep an eye on. FORT WORTH TEXAS, four times a winner between the flags, landed a Tipperary bumper with a bit in hand and, though penalised, looks potentially useful and can concede the weight to My Midnight, who has been unfortunate not to lose her maiden tag after being brought down when going well at Cork and just failing to catch Quarry Lil at Clonmel. Love The Melody made all for a facile victory in a Wexford bumper so has to be respected along with Gavin Cromwell's newcomer Greenpanda, twice a winner on the Flat and placed eight times.
