Verdict

Getabird has done everything right since running out on his debut between the flags at Liscarroll two years ago, A dual bumper winner, he was impressive in beating Mengli Khan nine lengths at Punchestown, though the winner had a 6lb penalty for winning the Royal Bond and would probably have gained his second Grade 1 victory but for falling in the Future Champions at Leopardstown. Paloma Blue led for a long way in the Grade 1 Deloitte at Leopardstown before blown away by Samcro and will struggle to make all in a race like this. But the home team also looks strong and you could argue that KALASHNIKOV would be a shorter price if he hailed from a more fashionable yard. Hugely impressive against top-class handicappers in the Betfair Hurdle, Amy Murphy’s stable star is fancied to reverse Tolworth running at Sandown with Summerville Boy, who had earlier finished behind Slate House and Western Ryder in different races around here. Claimantakinforgan was behind Simply The Betts in his prep race at Musselburgh but the improving First Flow has each-way claims as he should relish the going and likely fast pace.
