Abogados drops down to the minimum for the first time and has been leading up to this trip in recent races though testing ground wouldn't be to his advantage. He finished in front of Ablah in a Cork nursery last time and should do so again. VIV VANCE had been beaten at huge prices in maidens and was a 50/1 chance when a very good third in a 6f Curragh nursery last month. She was in the lead at this trip and a similar effort would probably be good enough. None of the remainder have shown much in a poor-quality nursery.
