Formscan - Several of these are old rivals and the betting could be a good source of clues. Captain Kinsella runs off 10lb below his last winning mark and is dangerous to rule out, while It's Showtime and Bluebells Boy have reasonable chances. However, SON OF ASTAR is the pick of Tony Carroll's pair and the mount of Rossa Ryan won't need to find much to stamp his authority under top weight.
