Verdict

Siesta Beach looked to have a chance in the 5.40 here yesterday so that result should be monitored. Midnight Fire and Pretty Boy Floyd are three-times track winners and Colin Keane's presence on the latter suggests he's primed for another crack while Nordic Passage also likes it here and was only just denied when sent to Chepstow ten days ago. TEDDY BOY had been running well all year before scoring at Naas and he won't mind the conditions so gets the vote though Redshore City was only headed in the closing stages at Sligo and should be losing his maiden tag soon.
