        Verdict

        MOUNT ABORA ran well for third off today's mark over 1m4f here during the week having scored over the same trip here before that. Winning partner Jamie Spencer is back on board and he gets the vote ahead of Maison Brillet. The latter has gone close on his last couple of starts including one over C&D and is just preferred to Thundering Home, who also scored over 1m4f at this track in December but struggled off today's mark last time. Mr Plod is only 1lb higher than when winning over track and trip last February and Irish raider Face Value posted a better effort at Dundalk last month.
