The Blue Panther (7/5), Dress Kode (7/2), All Things Bright (6/1), Shannon Valley (6/1), Amazing Emma (15/2), Betrayed (10/1)

SHANNON VALLEY left her maiden form behind and would have finished even closer with a clear run when third on nursery debut at Sligo 19 days ago. From the same mark, she is very much the one to beat, with Betrayed and All Things Bright feared most.
