Verdict

Abby Cadabby has plenty of weight for a three-year-old and is 11lb higher than her victory at Roscommon in May but she'll love the ground and has Connor King's claim to aid her cause. Amazing Star is 12lb higher than his latest victory but he's continued to run well from his new mark and shouldn't be dismissed. NANCY ROSE hasn't had much experience and is progressing nicely. She made the in-form Gone Viral pull out all the stops at Gowran and with the longer trip and soft ground in her favour can go one better. Lonan followed a very good run at Galway with another on the Polytrack at Dundalk so he can get involved though Sli Na Fiarana looks more of a threat after narrow defeats over this trip at the Curragh and Roscommon. Bunreacht didn't get the run of the race at Listowel last time and a clear run should see him in the frame.
