ABBAKOVA arrived here in very good form last month and made all for a comfortable success over Celtic Man. She bounces off the fast ground and had earlier finished just in front of Dimity at Cork so should have the beating of her again. Sacred Aspect looks a threat as she scored at Leopardstown before finding the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot much too hot. Touch Of Snow has plenty of early pace so the drop to the minimum for the first time should help but the remaining pair look to have plenty to find.
