FormscanBy Donal Murphy - PRETTY BOY FLOYD is one of the safer options in this open contest. A winner over six furlongs at this venue on his last start, the Footstepsinthesand gelding drops back in distance now to five. He finished third on his most recent try over the minimum trip at Navan and with Colin Keane again taking the ride, he can be expected to go close. Indiana Grey came from last to first to win on her penultimate start at Limerick and while she was a bit disappointing since, it'll come as no surprise if she manages to bounce back to her best now. Clear Quartz and Teddy Boy both won last time out and they are sure to have plenty of supporters. Handicap debutant Hodd's Girl is an interesting contender for Mick Halford, while Countess Matilda, Tipperary runner-up Blue Umbrella and Jensons Joy, with Shane Foley aboard, are others for the shortlist.
