Gordon Elliott has some live chances here today and THE ABBEY (NAP) is one. His excellent second in a huge field of handicappers at Navan was over 2m6f but there's nothing with comparable recent form in this line-up and he'd been placed over this trip earlier. Kirwans Lane makes his handicap debut with a big weight and though De Mazzaro has been going well enough he's 0-26 which tempers enthusiasm. Best Not Argue, four times a winner on the Flat, showed some hurdling ability when runner-up at Cartmel but Theatre Run was beaten a long way into fourth at Roscommon.
