In depth

Verdict

New Society, a winner over hurdles in April, has a 6lb penalty for Friday's victory at Fairyhouse but it will be a surprise if he's not thereabouts. The Abbey has had a run over fences since scoring over 2m at Dundalk and this may be on the short side but AUNTY AUDREY gained her third track victory when just beating Stellify over the trip before finding 1m3f too short at Limerick. Pat Flynn's mare is taken to gain course victory number four with Alan Persse again doing the steering. Oh So Chic ran her best race to date at Fairyhouse on Friday and she's actually on a lower mark so has to be considered.
