Formscan By Gary Carson - LOVE BILLY BOY just got going a touch too late at the Curragh last Sunday when finishing second to Laugh A Minute and may be able to go one better now. The Invincible Army gelding was well supported on his first start for Ger O'Leary then and looks capable of striking now, stepping up a furlong. Money Dancer had a couple of good placed efforts over jumps, over the winter, and looks capable of being competitive off this mark back on the level. Dual course and distance winner Facethepuckout is on a competitive mark and could be each-way material.

An extended handicap for four years old and upwards (90 = 10st)
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
