GETAWAY JOHN looked in need of experience on his only start at Punchestown in February but ran well enough to suggest he can take this with normal progress. Pilot Staion showed potential between the flags and on his debut under Rules at Leopardstown but Willie Mullins' newcomer Tornado Flyer looks the more likely main challenger. He's by Flemensfirth out of a mare related to the brilliant Hurricane Fly so his trainer should know all about him. Myth Buster cost 100,000 euros and is a half-brother to Gold Cup winner Kicking King and eight other winners so he could be special while Dream Conti cost Gigginstown a massive 235,000 euros and is a half-brother to winning hurdler Bello Conti.
