In depth

Verdict

SNEAKY GETAWAY wouldn't want the ground to dry out but that appears unlikely and this looks an ideal opportunity. Emmet Mullins' charge, a dual bumper winner and smart stayer on the Flat with a mark of 99, should be much too good for these if taking to hurdles. Premium Package looks the one most likely to take advantage if he doesn't come up to scratch as he won a point at Stowlin by 10 lengths last May and has joined Henry De Bromhead. Soldiers Hill hasn't done as well as expected over timber after his bumper victory but Ran Rite produced two good runs at Thurles in March, though both on testing ground.
