FormscanBy Michael Graham - Given the form of Gavin Cromwell's stable, TRANSCENDENTAL could return from a break with a victory. She was just beaten by a neck in a much-higher grade when last seen in November and, crucially, she has winning form on good ground. This ground is drying out all the time. Rathbranchurch has form figures of '3212' in sprints at Navan and has the benefit of a seasonal reappearance fifth in a big field at the Curragh to call upon. This ground certainly won't inconvenience him. Eddie Lynam has secured the services of James Ryan for Keke who has the form to get involved while Avatar Jet could show up well on his handicap debut for his new trainer Mark Fahey. There was definite improvement on his third run when sixth at the Curragh last summer.
