Verdict
Vino Vino Cavo is likely to do well this campaign but will probably need the run after such a long absence. Par Five let supporters down in a Roscommon maiden where the 2m4f trip may just have been too far while Impersonator is still looking a few pounds high in the weights. Abarta makes his handicap debut but is another who is proving costly and disappointed when strongly fancied at Ballinrobe earlier this month. ADROPAUPEP is very much on the upgrade and gained an impressive success over this trip at Cork after an unlucky run at Wexford. She's been raised 9lb but this looks well within her capabilities.
