In depth
Verdict
TEDDY BOY continues to frustrate as he did when only fourth behind today's rival Bahlwan here on Sunday. However, the winner has an 8lb rise to contend with so Eddie Lynam's charge can finally get back to winning ways. The veteran Doonard Prince has won nine races in his career though was a long way behind the selection at Navan in October but seven-times winner Polly Douglas is generally thereabouts and is dropping back to a winnable mark. It's All A Joke is on a very long losing run but can't go any lower in the weights and showed signs of a resurgence at Naas.
