Verdict
Dual Flat winner The Abbey has never won over jumps but has dropped just enough to get into this low-grade handicap. Strong Roots had shown glimpses of ability before a close fourth in a big field at Cork while Buto produced his first placed effort on his 18th start at Down Royal last week. SEARCH FOR A MYTH (NAP) had been in moderate form over the minimum before stepping up to this track and trip last month where she was staying on. She looks the one to beat if continuing her progress.
