Verdict
Midnight Fire, Pretty Boy Floyd and Downforce are all three-times track winners with the former in much the better form having beaten Tall Story, who runs in the previous race, last month. He's been raised 8lb which makes this tougher but Hero Of The Hour is on a fair mark after his recent three victories at Dundalk and would have an obvious chance if transferring that form to Turf. Storm Eric's recent Dundalk victory was over 7f but it's about time Little Queenie was adding to her lone success just over a year ago. BELLS ON HER TOES is another who has won only once but she's now dropped to a winnable mark and can repay each-way interest in a very tricky finale.
