In depth
Verdict
TIRMIZI (NAP) ran into a very well handicapped rival at Leopardstown and though beaten 6 lengths can go one better as he's won from a higher mark than this. Kalanoura had some strong form last term though has been a bit disappointing in two runs this summer but The Abbey has only been raised 3lb for scoring at Killarney though that was over 1m5f. One In All In was mixing the Flat with chasing last year and made a very encouraging return from a long break when only beaten 2 lengths at Fairyhouse though could find this on the short side.
