FormscanBy Mark Nunan - MR SOCIAL built on an encouraging fourth at Downpatrick to get off the mark over this distance at Tramore just over a week ago. The Getaway gelding has scope for further improvement and can defy a 6lb hike in the ratings. Battle Away won over course and distance last July after an absence of almost three years. That was her first start for Ross O'Sullivan and she followed up at Cork. Her mark has come down enough for her to compete again in this grade and her lay-off is obviously of no concern. Slaney Bank, fourth on handicap debut at Kilbeggan last month, has cheekpieces fitted for the first time and represents a yard whose runners always command respect.
