Verdict

Curraheen Princess completed a double when scoring here but found a penalty too much to handle at Navan on Wednesday. Harry's Hill, who was just half-a-length behind in that previous race, must have a chance of reversing the places at the revised weights while five-times winner Ever Rock was headed on the line at Navan and beat a huge field over 6f here in August. TEDDY BOY is 2-46 but both victories have come in October over this trip on soft ground. He's on a low enough mark these days and victory number three looks on the cards. Showmolina keeps attracting support but spoiling his chances out of the stalls while the consistent Earls has been looking a couple of pounds high in the weights.
