Verdict

Teddy Boy had been in fine form before a moderate run on Wednesday and was beaten less than two lengths by the in-form Adams Barbour after going up 7lb for last month's victory. He finished in front of Collective Power when runner-up to Jered Maddox earlier and can confirm the form. Inishmot Prince was making his handicap debut when a close fourth to Teddy Boy three weeks ago and showed the benefit with a very good effort on Wednesday. Colin Keane takes over from an apprentice though three-times track winner PILLAR almost made all in that latter event and will take some catching in that kind of mood.
