Stanhope ended a long losing run at Navan in April but then ran poorly there last month when a long way behind fourth-placed TEDDY BOY. The latter is a very consistent performer at this level and is just 1lb higher than his victory at Bellewstown in April so gets the nod. Markievicz was behind Stanhope at Navan but gained her first success when beating a huge field at the Curragh early this month when well supported. The assessor has raised her 11lb which makes things more difficult while It Might Be You, who is still a maiden, was engaged in the 6.45 at Sligo yesterday. Poet's Pride has only ever won on the all-weather while Clara's Approach is best with some cut in the ground.
