Verdict

A winner over 2m3f at Cork, Sneaky Getaway did even better when scoring easily at Limerick and has an obvious chance though conceding 17lb, including jockey claims, to CENTAUR looks difficult. A winner at Downpatrick, he couldn't quite contain Home By The Lee at Roscommon but has a good chance of gaining his second bumper victory. La Chanteuse made a reasonable start at Perth but meets better rivals and the market should give pointers to the three newcomers.
