FormscanBy John O'Riordan - A weak affair in which it could pay to side with LINCALL(5). A lightly raced son of Doctor Dino, the five-year-old ran his best race to date when fifth here in December. Following another fair effort at Naas subsequently, the gelding failed to fire in his final two starts for trainer Gordon Elliott. Following a satisfactory stable debut for new connections at Wexford in August, he just about sets the standard. A final flight faller over 3m at Cork in July, Howyasox should make her presence felt granted a clear round. Dropping back in trip shouldn't be an issue for the mare. Vargas is another that shouldn't be ruled out given that he has scope for some improvement.
