Aurora Vega (5/6), Mongibello (9/2), Barnahash Primrose (6/1), Baby Kate (7/1), Fleur Au Fusil (10/1), Femme Magnifique (10/1), Switch From Diesel (16/1), Holly Brook (16/1), Ma Belle Etoile (25/1), Miss Mini Bee (33/1), Sharp Object (33/1), Roedora (33/1), Cola Blaze (50/1), Glens Lullaby (80/1), Discussion (125/1), Slotty Dotty (200/1)

AURORA VEGA has looked something out of the ordinary to date and is fancied to get the better of her stablemate Femme Magnifique, who cruised to success at Thurles on her Rules debut. Mongibello's form has substance and she looks the pick of those that aren't in the care of Willie Mullins.
