Soldiers Hill carries a penalty for winning a Downpatrick maiden in the summer when trained by Gordon Elliott and may be vulnerable having a first start for new connections. GREENROCK ABBEY was snapped up by the Million In Mind partnership for a tidy sum after landing a maiden point at Tyrella in March and looks to have an excellent chance of making a winning start under Rules given the quality of the opposition.
