Verdict

An ultra-competitive sprint in which PRETTY BOY FLOYD is selected to snap a losing run stretching back to 2021 and go a place better than at the Curragh 12 days ago. The main danger could be Teddy Boy, who finished fourth in this corresponding event last year and is now operating from a 10 lb lower mark. Catherine Chroi, Conversant and Let's Believe are just a handful of others to consider.

  1. PRETTY BOY FLOYD (IRE)
  2. TEDDY BOY (IRE)
  3. CATHERINE CHROI (IRE)
