Ray Dawson has completed a double on Formal Bid for Charles O'Brien in the last week and can continue his successful association for the yard on MOUNT ABORA. He was on board when the filly scored over 1m1f at Cork in April and again when finishing strongly over a mile at Gowran so tonight's trip should prove ideal. Dual Polytrack winner Appletreemagic has never won on turf but ran really well behind Prince Of Fashion at Fairyhouse on Sunday and will get a positive ride from Ross Coakley, who had a winner at Dundalk on Tuesday. The three-year-old Do The Bosanova drops back in trip after fading over 1m4f at Roscommon and Via Del Corso again looked one-paced at Killarney on Tuesday. Solid Air is another never to have won on turf and looks a few pounds high in the weights.
