A GREAT VIEW and Dorans River are in the veteran stage now but the former ran well at Galway 12 days ago and the latter has been in great form at Kilbeggan, though has gone up another 6lb and his rider is only able to claim 3lb now. The Abbey is well treated on his chase form and Mister Beeton will be fancied to follow up a Punchestown success, though is effectively 9lb higher here. Most of the others have something to prove at present.
