FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Gigginstown House Stud are well represented here with three runners, two of which are trained by Gordon Elliott. Joseph O’Brien and Jessica Harrington also have dual representation but for many this will be all about THE BIG GETAWAY as he makes his debut over racecourse fences. In the dual Gold Cup winning colours of Marie Donnelly, chase debuts for Asterion Forlonge and Shishkin went along expected lines last month and more of the same will be expected now from The Big Getaway. He won his point-to-point at Horse And Jockey for Donnchadh Doyle in March 2018 and has two track successes under his belt for current connections. The selection finished third behind Envoi Allen in the Ballymore at Cheltenham when last seen. Chasing ought to be his true vocation though, and the likes of Conflated, Exit Poll, Opposites Attract and Sempo are others for the short-list.
