Verdict
The three-year-old Dancing Rebel, a Curragh maiden winner in October, is 4lb out of the handicap but has her rider's claim to aid her cause. PRETTY BOY FLOYD has gained three of his four victories at the Curragh, all on testing ground. He'll have conditions to suit and Siobhan Rutledge is very good value for her claim. Colin Keane, who was on board last time, rides Ger Lyons' new recruit Blind Beggar, a Catterick maiden winner for Richard Fahey. Swift Flight scored on testing ground over the track and trip in October and made a very encouraging reappearance at the Curragh so looks a major threat.
