FormscanBy Michael Graham - TEDDY BOY continues to catch the eye in-running and could get his reward. His last victory came in October and since then he has been placed on five occasions, including on his last three starts. His latest decent effort came at Naas on Sunday when he chased home It’s All A Joke on soft ground. He now avails of Dylan Browne McMonagle’s 7lb claim which puts him on a very attractive mark. It’s All A Joke runs under the 6lb penalty and has the plum draw in stall one. That Naas victory (over six furlongs) was a welcome return to form, but his record over five furlongs in Irish racetracks isn’t inspiring. He was due to run here on Wednesday. It’s All A Joke’s stablemate Pillar is a course and distance winner who could show up well with Adam Farragher taking 7lbs off his back. A Step Too Far won at Naas last month, but was also due to run at this track on Wednesday.
