GETAWAY GERRY posted his best effort so far on his return to action when runner-up over track and trip. The third has subsequently won and Katie Scott’s charge gets the vote on that form. Highway Companion represents last year’s winning yard and will be sharper for last month’s placed effort here fitted with headgear for the first time while Pogue has gone well fresh before and went close over these hurdles back in March. The Blame Game has placed in bumpers and debuts over timber along with point-to-point runner-up Cilluirid.
