Irish Boy has taken well to the turf, winning two of his four starts on fast ground, but RYLEE MOOCH is preferred. He was in good form on the all-weather earlier this year and appeared to handle today's surface when fourth at Catterick last October. He gets the vote on his return from a short break. Surely This time has yet to win a race and won't be winning this time either unless the underfoot conditions bring improvement, while Country Waltz was beaten out of sight on his only start on slow ground.
