Verdict

GETAWAY GOLDIE (NAP) has improved markedly over fences having won three times at Perth since April. She's reverting to hurdles on a 12lb lower mark and will take some beating. Sphagnum has been a bit unfortunate in his two runs since scoring at Sligo, coming up against well handicapped rivals, though that could be the case again here. Rare Conor hasn't won in 32 starts so can hardly be trusted despite a cracking effort at Kilbeggan while Kilbarry Chianti has performed well since landing a maiden on the latter track. Diamondinthemud found the competition too hot at Galway after landing a 2m3f maiden on this track.
