FormscanBy Mark Nunan - TEDDY BOY gained his only win at this track last October and he has regularly run well in defeat here as well. Dylan Browne McMonagle has a second spin on the consistent 5-year-old and got a good tune out of him when chasing home the talented A Step Too Far at Bellewstown in August. Eddie Lynam’s gelding may gain a long overdue second victory. Pretty Smart hasn’t been beaten far in three starts since winning here in July and has a talented apprentice on board as well. Cactus Tree has been running reasonably well of late and blinkers may eke out a bit more improvement. Age may finally be catching up a little with Doonard Prince but this hardy veteran may still be capable of a bold show at a course he likes. %0A%0A%0A
