Getaday makes a quick reappearance after a narrow defeat over 2m3f at Limerick on Sunday when well supported. He was earlier 5l behind The Gatechecker over this trip at Thurles and the winner will have found 2m6f too short on a return visit having also completed a double over today's distance in the autumn. RONALD PUMP beat the in-form Eight And Bob over 2m4f here in December then comfortably accounted for Agusta Gold over this trip at Fairyhouse. His hat-trick bid was foiled in a much better race than this at Navan where he wasn't beaten far and can return to winning ways. Bitsandpieces won a 2m handicap here in November and has run well over fences subsequently. He stays this trip and looks reasonably treated while UK raider Lord Of The Island is a class act who has only had two runs since landing a Sandown Grade 3 two years ago and showed at Exeter last month that his turn isn't far off.
