FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Eddie Lynam, or 'Fast Eddie' as he's affectionately known, saddles three of the 15 in this competitive affair. Bidding to complete a four-timer, the progressive KEKE is the standout name of his representatives. Successful when drawn widest of all over the course and distance in June, he is again in the outside stall. Upped just 3lb for his latest win at the Curragh, the Dandy Man bay might still be ahead of the assessor. Narrowly beaten by the selection at the Curragh, it would come as no surprise if Transcendental (declared at Bellewstown on Tuesday) managed to reverse the form, while Universally, who has already won twice this season, is another leading hope. In truth, a case can be made for many others, with Rathbranchurch (declared at Bellewstown on Tuesday), Mehman, Moltophino, Sevensees and Jon Riggens all sure to have their supporters.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards (95 = 10st)Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
