An excellent fifth in the French Derby in June when last spotted, War Decree has decent claims of landing this prize on his return to action and should have problems handling this surface. He can go well and may be hard to topple but his price will reflect that. Stablemate Long Island Sound won this race a year ago and isn't to be underestimated returning from a break while the mare Absolute Blast is another that could have a say. Sir Michael Stoute has never graced Dundalk with a runner before now so it is interesting that ABINGDON comes here. She was no match for Enable in the Yorkshire Oaks but does have smart turf form and, with Smullen up, could provide a fruitful first raid at this track for her expert handler.
