FormscanBy Michael Graham - THE COLA KID reappeared off a break to run a stormer when just failing by a head in second at Fairyhouse, which puts him right in contention for this. He is a lightly-raced horse who has switched to Ireland from Britain. Seamie Heffernan was booked for that Irish debut over six furlongs, so it would be reasonable to assume that a good run was expected. The handicapper reacted by putting him up 3lbs, but Ben Coen's claim offsets that. Ticks The Boxes is inching up the weights but was placed on his last two runs, so has his chance and is more than capable of getting in the money. Teddy Boy was a beaten favourite in seventh over five furlongs at this track last month. His previous pair of third places here give him prospects, though.
