Plenty with chances here including Advantage Point, who will be better for his run at Leopardstown in December. Winning point-to-pointer Batcio ran easily his best race to date under Rules here last month while Serious Ego has joined Gordon Elliott after landing a maiden point at Ballysteen. THE ABBEY has improved with every run and was staying on strongly when a close third at Down Royal so gets the vote though Chavi Artist will have come on a bundle for his run at Fairyhouse in April. Charles Byrnes had a cracking winter with his bumper horses so any money for the newcomer Doctor Duffy should be noted.
