Abstraction has returned to action in good shape after a long break and was good value for his victory over Aspen Belle at Down Royal with My Laureate well beaten. He can confirm the form though a low draw may just hand the initiative to TIDE OF TIME. Eddie Lynam's charge, a winner at Down Royal in June, has performed with credit in much better handicaps subsequently and still looks on a very fair mark. She's My Dream can also go well as John Oxx' grey went up 7lb for her victory at Naas but made a bold bid to overcome the extra over this track and trip last time. Art Of Unity was behind the selection at Tipperary last time but can finish closer on what may be quicker ground.
