Trained by Mike Maker, Henley's Joy has compiled a 6-3-2-0 mark on the grass. In his lone Keeneland appearance, he finished second beaten a nose in last fall's Dixiana Bourbon (G3).

Tyler Gaffalione has the mount on Henley's Joy, who will break from post position 10.

After a long hiatus, Trainer David Fawkes returns to race at Keeneland.

"I haven't raced here in three years since Sheer Drama won the Madison (G1)," Fawkes said Tuesday morning. "The morning after was like this and (jockey) Joe (Bravo) was her hot walker."

Fawkes has returned with two horses, headlined by Sandra New's Louder Than Bombs, who figures to be one of the favorites.

"He is a high energy horse and full of life," said Fawkes of the Violence colt, who was purchased at the 2017 Keeneland September Yearling Sale for $37,000. "We had a choice of the (Cutler Bay) stakes last Saturday at Gulfstream or here. He needs them to back up, and I thought there was a better chance of that here."

Third in the Palm Beach (G3) in his most recent start, Louder Than Bombs figures to stay in Kentucky after Friday's race.

"We have two targets," Fawkes said. "After this race, he will either stay here or go over to Churchill Downs for the ($400,000) American Turf (G2) on Derby Day (May 4)."

Rain is in the forecast for Friday, and Louder Than Bombs might encounter conditions he has not faced.

"I think he needs a little give in the ground and he has never had that," Fawkes said.

Luis Saez has the mount and will break from post position seven.
