In depth
Verdict
Teddy Boy continues to frustrate and has been beaten off this mark the last three times he's raced. Improving is 0-13 and looks a bit too high after a head defeat at Naas brought a 5lb rise. Pulse Of Shanghai looks ready to score again soon having been dropped 2lb despite a fine run at the Curragh while Crystal Dawn stayed on strongly to score at Dundalk though has a 7lb rise to contend with. Bellick is very consistent which is why the assessor can't loosen his grip but Doonard Prince, who has won three times around here, is gradually dropping to a winnable mark. CAESAR'S COMET is better over an extra furlong but with the going on the soft side Joey Sheridan can bring him with a late run to gain his first success over the trip.
