DARK ACE shaped well over 5f here last time and can come good again with the return to 6f ideal. Eddie Lynam is no stranger to success in this contest and Headmaster, who once again has the services of Dylan Browne McMonagle, heads the many dangers along with British raider Sondad and last year's winner Go Athletico, who like the selection hails from the Ado McGuinness yard.

About The Selections
Johnny Ward
City House This horse's Habitat run behind Headmaster could be the key to this – he looked very unlucky not to get involved.

Dark Ace Ado McGuinness runs three here, including last year's winner Go Athletico, but it's the progressive Dark Ace from the yard that interests me most.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: There is a chance of a pace burnout early, and Dark Thirty and Oro Blanco are two who could suffer: A strong early pace seems highly likely. Keke and Headmaster could be suited by being ridden further from the pace.
Individual Price Hint: Alfred Tennyson has traded at 50% or less of Betfair SP 3 times on its last 5 starts.
