A typical renewal of this valuable 4-y-o bumper with it very light on experience. ABBEYGLEN is a half-brother to a dual bumper winner and hails from a stable more than capable of readying a newcomer, so he earns the vote to end the recent domination of Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott in this race. Altesse du Luy, Bacharach and Strategic are a trio of other well-bred types to take seriously.
