IMPERIAL CHOICE is turned out quickly under a 7 lb penalty for her impressive Navan success and looks the one to beat at the chief expesne of Ballinrobe-fourth The Abbey who sports cheekpieces for the first time. Top-weight Vocito wasn't seen to best effect when fourth at Tramore last time and also needs considering.
