BLACKBERRY BOY is a confident nap choice to take the Sportsman's Challenge at the Curragh this afternoon.

Dermot Weld's Desert Prince colt made a good start at Gowran Park back in May when beating long odds-on Yario by three parts of a length on soft ground and wasn't seen again until reappearing at Leopardstown in late July.

Contesting the Listed Tyros Stakes, he finished a creditable fourth behind Teofilo, staying on really nicely at the end of that seven furlongs.
