Verdict
Getgo, three-times a winner on the Flat, was staying on well over slightly shorter on his handicap debut over hurdles here last month. NATURAL BREEZE scored over the trip at Clonmel in April and his two recent placed efforts have been over 2m5f on this track where he's led until the closing stages. He's 10lb higher than his victory but should have the legs of these. Our Brian has won twice around here and has slipped to a winnable mark with Hugh Morgan's claim another bonus. Zambezir was well supported at Navan but looks as though he needs further than this.
