LORD DUDLEY had hinted at better to come before stepping up to an extended 7f at Roscommon and scoring with a bit in hand. He led 2f out that day so dropping back in trip shouldn't be a concern. Abogados has had ten starts without winning but possibly found the going too fast on his return at Cork and Colin Keane takes over. Tullypole Annie is 2lb lower than when scoring over the trip at the Curragh in September so a repeat would see her in the firing-line while Attelboro, who had shown a bit of potential in maidens last season, changed stables and made an encouraging handicap debut at Tipperary.
