IRISH POSEIDON (NAP) has made a very good impression since arriving from Germany, finishing well over the extended 1m2f before scoring over today's trip last week. He's only been raised 3lb so looks certain to go well again. The Abbey has been racing over fences since scoring over 1m6f at Killarney in July but Stellify has been excellent form since tackling heavy going on Turf and, if taking to Polytrack, will be thereabouts. Clonard Abbey is 0-15 but has gone very close in two of her last three starts over the track and trip while Sleepy Head looked on the way back in the latter of those two races. The lightly-raced Erytheia has never run over a trip this far.
