Going - Yielding to Soft. Overcast with threat of rain

Formscan By Donal Murphy - GETABIRD may have let down his many supporters at Cheltenham, but he bounced back in style at Fairyhouse, and it's difficult to oppose him now. No real reason was put forward for that Prestbury Park flop, however going left-handed there may not have suited him, with all his victories to date coming at right-handed venues. He is already two from two at Punchestown, and it'll come as a surprise if he doesn't extend that perfect record now. Willie Mullins trains the selection and he is also represented by Draconien, Sharjah (first time tongue strap), and Whiskey Sour. Whiskey Sour came from well off the pace to finish third in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham, and he looks to have strong each-way claims here. Mengli Khan and Paloma Blue were third and fourth in the Supreme Novices', and they are both sure to have plenty of supporters, while English raider Vision Des Flos (successful at the Punchestown Festival twelve months ago) is another to consider after finishing second to Lalor at Aintree on his last start.
