In depth
Verdict
TEOLEENA was racing on fast ground for the first time when easily landing a Gowran handicap and with similar conditions likely can complete a quick double despite her big weight. Greeneyed Monster beat much better fancied rivals at Killarney a year ago but has only had three subsequent runs and was well beaten on his comeback in a Naas handicap last month. Bad News Bear had looked progressive before a very moderate effort at Bellewstown where he didn't appear to enjoy the fast ground though he was impeded and should be capable of better. Love The Feeling may do best of the remainder.
