FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Eddie Lynam looks to have a strong hand here, saddling three of the 13 set to take part. Six-time winner Keke and UK import Headmaster are the most interesting of them, with the latter bought for 48,000 pounds at Tattersalls in October. For a selection, handicap debutant HOWD'YADOIT gets the nod. He beat 20 rivals when winning the valuable Ballyhane Stakes over the course and distance last season and nicely treated by the conditions of this race, it'll be disappointing if he's not involved towards the business end. In truth, a case can be made for many others, with Tango Flare and Valiant Force likely to have plenty of supporters. A fine second when last seen at Newcastle on Good Friday, Indigo Dream is another leading hope.
