Verdict

LOVE BILLY BOY looked an unlucky loser starting out for present connections when just touched off at the Curragh last week and, with the step back up in trip in his favour, he can confirm the promise of that run and come out on top. Facethepuckout goes particularly well here and he's a threat with Chicago Fireball another to note. Fast Tara also commands a second look starting out for a new yard.
