Abogados dropped back to this trip at Cork last week and led for a long way while Revolutme made all over the trip at the Curragh and wasn't suited to the minimum in a strong Navan nursery. Tar Heel was just over 3 lengths behind in that Curragh event and is only 2lb better off though has shown improved form subsequently. SHALAALAA made a successful debut over the track and trip and was elevated into Group 3 company at Cork but was nowhere near his best after getting upset in the stalls. He's better than that and can return to winning ways though Palifico looks a threat after another very good run on ground softer than ideal at Limerick.
