ABARTA and Survival fought a battle at Sligo a fortnight ago with Prosperity Square not too far behind. The former looked beaten on the run-in but battled back and though a few pounds worse off he has the experienced Roger Quinlan in the saddle and can confirm the places and take this. Take A Shot was 17l behind and looks held though that was his first start since May and Nina Carberry takes over. Jamie Codd's presence on Doc Hollywood is a bonus and he's been getting closer to losing his maiden tag and he holds All Fired Up on last month's run behind Obispo at Downpatrick but Prince Of Milan hasn't won since scoring here in May 2012. Derek O'Connor rode Embracing Change to four victories between the flags and the combination could go well here at a big price.
