Bell Ex One, a close fourth over the trip at Dundalk, dropped back to an extended 1m2f at Gowran and came out on top in a battle with Overheer, who was conceding 23lb. BATTLE ANGEL (NAP) showed her first sign of ability when stepped up to 1m2f at Cork where she was staying on strongly. Emmet Mullins' grey has been dropped 2lb and can get off the mark. Ever A Dream had every chance in that latter event and looks held while Men Of Dreams has changed stables and has a long absence to overcome. The well-bred Abstract hasn't been beaten far in handicaps this year and looks best of the remainder.
