Queens Brook (11/8), Brandy Love (6/4), Rebel Ivy (15/2), Anna Bunina (11/1), My Design (16/1), Ailie Rose (20/1), Robyndeglory (150/1)

BRANDY LOVE signed off her novice campaign with an impressive success in a Grade 1 at Fairyhouse where she readily accounted for the smart Love Envoi. Provided she is ready to roll following a 10-month absence, she could prove hard to beat with the promise of even better to come. Queens Brook is a solid operator at this level and is next on the list ahead of Anna Bunina.
