Formscan - PUPPET MASTER goes from strength to strength. Fourth in the Ballysax at Leopardstown in March, when only a couple of lengths behind subsequent Derby hero Lambourn, he showed further improvement to land the Lingfield Derby Trial last time. There should be even more in the locker and the son of Camelot makes most appeal. Zahrann is another Irish challenger to consider, having won a Listed contest at Leopardstown in fine style, while Amiloc remains unbeaten after easily winning a Listed race at Goodwood and commands the utmost respect. Third in the Dante, the tough and consistent Wimbledon Hawkeye is also likely to prove competitive.
