Supporters of GLENLO ABBEY, an easy bumper winner here last February, have had their fingers burnt in his two starts over timber this season though his latest second to Ikidunot at Limerick may turn out to be a useful run if the winner performs as well as expected in the previous race. Winning point-to-pointer Playboy Luke looks a real threat after his placed efforts in big fields here and at Fairyhouse while another winner between the flags Dun Bawn wasn't beaten far by Rite Of Passage at Punchestown before failing in a Limerick bumper. Billytheship is progressing nicely and there was plenty to like about his run behind Pay The Ship at Cork.
