GETAWAY KATIE MAI has to be the selection after her efforts in bumpers where she followed a narrow defeat in a Grade 2 at Leopardstown by landing a similar-class race at Aintree. Diamond Hill won a bumper here in August but hasn't shown much in her two starts over timber so Tintangle may prove more of a threat. A Listed bumper winner, she was placed in a Punchestown Grade 3 on her final start and has a very smart pedigree for jumping. Song Of The Sky scored on the Flat here last month and is definitely one to keep an eye on as she had previously been placed over hurdles while Moskovite and Western Victory, 1-2 in a Thurles bumper in February, are others to note in an interesting opener.
