Verdict
A low-grade handicap in which VISCHIO may be good enough. She was in very good form over hurdles last summer and though returning from an absence doesn't have much to beat. Abstract has yet to win but wasn't beaten far on his return to action at Navan while Trump Card is the only distance winner in the line-up. Lariat is 1-39 but can't go much lower while Scalor's only success came over hurdles. Rips Dream and Mayan Son haven't been running badly at Dundalk and may prove best of the remainder.
