FormscanBy Tom Weekes - LOVE BILLY BOY has recent form and has obvious claims. The UK-import had run three solid races this year and having met trouble in-running behind an easy Naas winner in March, scored at that venue last month. He competes from the same rating, which is 1lb below his best juvenile mark and will appreciate the forecast rain showers. Fort Vega has also been running well and would also like easy ground, so should also compete reverting back in distance. Dark Viper gained a first success in March and also ran well over this distance at Cork last month while Shoot To Kill is 2lb higher than when winning at Roscommon, but today’s same rider is unable to utilise his claim.
