Indiana Grey's only victory to date came over 7f at Limerick last month while Pretty Boy Floyd scored over 6f here a couple of weeks ago and is 5lb higher. Glow Worm led for a long way in that latter event before weakening but is now 0-21. Clear Quartz beat Jensons Joy and Countess Matilda over 6f at Fairyhouse and the winner can confirm the form as he led at this trip. TEDDY BOY had been very frustrating before getting his head in front on soft ground at Navan. The handicapper has been lenient with just a 3lb rise and Eddie Lynam's charge can go in again.
