Abbeydale was beaten a neck at Wexford in October but didn't improve on that over this track and trip last month. His yard also run Jeepydoff Meel, who would have finished much closer in that latter event but for a bad mistake at the last. Hollow Sound has some decent form though has had enough chances but Quirke's Gate chased home the long odds-on Hunters Yarn at Naas and won't bump into one as smart here. Winning point-to-pointer SENIOR CHIEF will have found two miles plenty short enough on his hurdling bow at Clonmel and with his stable in good form can get off the mark over timber.
