DOWNTOWN GETAWAY can go some way to repaying the huge price connections paid for him after winning an Irish bumper for Mags Mullins by landing the spoils here with his recent second a sound enough effort given the lengthy absence. Moonlighter was still travelling well in the race the selection was second in when falling two out so should go well again especially as the only dual winner in the field. Admiral Barratry beat a fair yard stick latest and could have more to come so is another on the shortlist.
