In depth
Verdict
Judies Child is a few pounds out of the handicap but that's no real concern as she runs with a penalty for Friday's Down Royal victory and she should be in the shake-up. ABSTRACTION ended his first campaign scoring at Dundalk and made a promising reappearance over 6f at Naas. With that under his belt and further progress expected he can gain his first success on Turf. Scatty Cat hasn't been beaten far in her three runs this season and should get into the action. She has the beating of Faleena on her latest run while Queen Grace didn't like the testing ground here last month though she's poorly handicapped with Judies Child on their run here a year ago.
