Abbey Storm is a progressive point-to-pointer who should make a good jumper in time but could find a few of these too quick at this stage. They include SPRINGFIELD GREY, who didn't show much between the flags but made a very promising start in a Clonmel bumper last month when a close fourth behind subsequent winner Seefood. That should be good enough for this though Colgrave Sound also caught the eye on his debut at Gowran where he made most of the running until fading in the latter stages. River Sava has a couple of fair runs to his credit and Softboiledsergeant didn't run badly at Galway.
