Roadtoabbeyfeale is progressing nicely and looked certain to be suited by a longer trip when a close second to Crocus Bay over 2m4f at Clonmel. Flaming Hymn met all sorts of trouble in-running at Ballinrobe last time but was still only beaten narrowly by Lean Times. Champagne Agent won a Cork bumper in April and didn't run badly on his hurdling bow at Killarney though this looks a tougher race. Whispering Hills and WANDERING AENGUS both finished runner-up over this trip last time and can fight this out. The former couldn't quite peg back Seriatim at Punchestown and it's Wandering Aengus who gets the nod as he's had his injury problems but looks over them after a fine run at Cork and is the type to go on to better things.
