DOONARD PRINCE (NAP) likes this stiff track and has won three times here, the last time a year ago when beating a huge field. He finished five lengths behind Teddy Boy here next time but has a massive 15lb pull in the weights and a chance is taken on a return to form. Pillar is another course and distance winner and he's closely matched with the selection and Teddy Boy on their form here a year ago. Pretty Smart scored here on soft ground in July and hasn't been beaten far in subsequent races so looks a threat while It's All A Joke beat Teddy Boy at Naas in the summer and is better off at the weights
