In depth
Verdict
Doonard Prince won this in 2019, one of three track victories, and though on a very long losing run can't be dismissed from a basement mark. Teddy Boy's last victory was on soft ground here a year ago from a 7lb higher mark and he looked back to form at Bellewstown last week. Coffeemeanscoffee is up 7lb for last week's success at Cork and runner-up Ceapach Rua can turn the tables on 5lb better terms with his young jockey having ridden winners on his last two rides. Showmolina is still a maiden but ran well on soft ground at the Curragh while STANHOPE was beaten less than a length when fourth here last month. The latter hasn't won since scoring here in July last year but is now a massive 24lb lower and this could be his day.
