Verdict

POLLY DOUGLAS was making her debut on the track when gaining her sixth career victory three weeks ago. She'd given notice of an imminent victory when reappearing with a cracking run at the Curragh and can complete a double, despite a 4lb rise. Eddie Lynam has won this for the past three years so Tide Of Time is one to note despite two poor runs at the Curragh as he completed a Navan double in October. His stable companion Teddy Boy makes a quick reappearance after a decent effort over 6f at Sligo on Tuesday and he's better over this trip. Twenty Minutes gained the first victory of his career over 6f at Naas and appeared to find an extended 5f too short at Navan a week later.
