Verdict
Abogados couldn't quite match strides with No Stopping Her at Roscommon but made rapid strides from his debut and is likely to improve again. Fourth-placed Ebeko attracted support that day and ran well enough to suggest he won't be long in winning. Sassified was very green here 10 days ago and will have come on for the experience while Aikido is a £50,000 son of Dandy Man and Cadillac is out of a 6f winner. Dermot Weld has struck form and the filly TIGER MYLK has a pedigree perfectly suited to this trip so she gets a tentative vote.
