FormscanBy Alan Magee - PHOENIX COWBOY won three times for Ger Lyons to hold a career high Flat rating of 100. The Gleneagles gelding has yet to score over hurdles but was placed on his penultimate start over a similar trip at Cork and is now fitted with a tongue tie for the first time. A Nod To Getaway recorded his only previous win in this race 12 months ago and has been placed on all three outings this year but appears best suited by some cut in the ground. Splendid Choice has dropped down to a lowly mark but gave some encouragement at Limerick last time.
