Billy Lee continues to push Colin Keane all the way in the jockeys' title race and he may get another on the board here courtesy of last month's Listowel second WAY TO WIN. Angel's Trumpet bounced back quickly from a lesser run at this venue when second at Galway and heads the dangers along with recent course scorer Drish Melody.
