Verdict
Glenabo Bridge had dropped to his lowest-ever mark when scoring easily at Down Royal and, though 8lb higher, his rider's claim almost takes care of the extra. Early Arrival has shown nothing before heading to Clonmel where he was an 80/1 chance but he belied his odds with a cracking effort and a repeat would see him in the frame. FLASHTHELIGHTS showed a bit of dash at Thurles last month and had no problems beating Johanna Yeats at Naas last week. He's up 6lb but is lightly raced and can go in again. Strong Roots would have to be considered if getting a run from her reserve spot.
