LOVE BILLY BOY is back at a more suitable distance after seemingly stretched at Leopardstown and now wears first-time cheekpieces. A dual winner this season, he can bounce back to form. Gleneagle Bay has been knocking on the door with near misses in competitive handicaps, while Partisan Hero is proving most reliable with a win and three runner-up efforts recently.
