Ringside Humour has been very busy and in good form though he was engaged with a good chance at Gowran last night and would be penalised 5lb if successful. Buenos Y Bobos won on fast ground here in September and got no sort of run on his return to action in the race won by tonight's rival Postulation at Dundalk. He has a 4lb pull with the winner and should get much closer but the runner-up there was subsequent winner The Happy Prince, whose trainer has SANDRO BOTTICELLI entered here. A son of Galileo out of a Group 1-winning mare, he wasn't fancied on his debut at the Curragh last month but overcame trouble in-running and with much more to offer can remain unbeaten.
