FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - EIGHTEEN SUMMERS is the suggestion here. On outing number two for the Eddie Lynam yard the chestnut is equipped with a hood for the first time. He has a good record at the Curragh, including a course and distance success, and his reappearance after a break since last September, at Dundalk, ten days ago, was good enough to suggest that he can strike now. Another that seems to always go well at HQ is Placere and she was noted down as name to remember with her performance when seventh just over three weeks back over a couple of furlongs shorter. Others that need considering are Henry Higgins, Stronger Than Me, Teocht and Urban Moon who benefited from the addition of a hood when triumphing at Navan last time.
