HOWYOULIKETHAT took another step forward when scoring in fine style at Dundalk last month and could have even more to offer. He can follow up if proving as good on turf (just his second run on it here). Chicago Bear and Trueba are interesting for Johnny Murtagh, with Dedillon another one to consider.
