Most of these are old pals though only Doonard Prince and the reserve Polly Douglas have won here. The former, nine-times a winner, has won three times on the track though has had 23 starts here. Pretty Smart had several of these behind when scoring at Navan though a 7lb rise should bring third-placed Ty Rock Brandy much closer. Zippity is 10lb higher than her only victory at Dundalk while TEDDY BOY has only won once, at Navan in October. However, the latter has been running well enough to get the nod in a tight handicap in which A Step Too Far should make a bold bid to lose her maiden tag.
