Formscan By Mark Nunan - WILLITGOAHEAD was unbeaten in three point-to-points in the autumn and made a promising Rules debut at Limerick over Christmas. Sean Doyle's Getaway gelding was outstayed by a useful type when runner-up over an extended 2m6f leaving a slight question mark over his stamina for this longer trip. The ground will be drier here too, but he handled goodish ground in one of his points and his jumping was very assured last time. The selection has more scope for improvement than Limerick fourth Rocky's Howya and can confirm form with the latter who is the likely pace angle in the race. Stablemates Ask D’ Man and Ramillies both ran well in a strong contest on similar ground at Down Royal. %0A%0A
