Getaway Katie displayed ability in bumper and hurdle company back in 2017 for Paul Nolan and has now joined Willie Mullins, though has a first start for over 660 days. Connections are obviously keen to persist with the Getaway mare but Scalor is hard to assess as his debut suggested decent potential which was not forthcoming on two subsequent runs. Carnet De Stage has shown ability and Slige Dala is a newcomer of note but HOLLOW SOUND ran really well at the Galway Festival so has no fitness issues and should improve again.
