Race preview
Colin Keane is back on LILANDRA for the first time since she was four times a runner-up for Ger Lyons last season. With the champion jockey's assistance, the daughter of Equiano may be able to turn around form with Kendred Soul from their clash over 6f three weeks ago. The latter has since run well in a handicap but needs to prove that she's as effective over this distance. Sunset Nova has won three times at this venue over the winter and had Atlas behind when performing well in a big field at the Curragh last weekend. Owner/trainer James McAuley has a strong hand numerically and Big Challenge is the highest rated in the field, but his useful form in Britain was mostly over a lot further.
