FormscanBy Gary Carson - THE ECHO BOY can gain his revenge on Champagne Beauty having been narrowly denied by that rival at Wexford last month. The selection was a touch unlucky then when charging home to push the winner to a short-head at the line. Champagne Beauty went up 6lb for the win with The Echo Boy getting a 3lb rise. Pat Fitzgerald has decided to claim 5lb off his charge now, legging up Hugh Morgan, and there might not be much between the pair again. Getaday was in behind the aforementioned pair in fourth at Wexford and also has to be considered here at the revised terms.
