In depth
Verdict
ABBYSSIAL had a run in France in May and showed plenty of potential so he can make a successful start for the champion trainer. Windsor Queen made a fair start over timber behind San Miedo at Gowran and is certain to have come on for the experience but Newberry Hill looked very one-paced at Navan after a better opening run at Punchestown. Miss Mitigate didn't show much for Andrew Balding and has moved stables but More Of The Same showed promise in a light campaign on the Flat and should make a hurdler.
