Heather (5/6), La Vita Nova (9/2), Letiza (9/2), Beauparc (5/1), Fortuna Vera (11/2), Ina Mina (15/2), No Niki No (12/1), Mo Ghille Mar (16/1), Umala (20/1)

LA VITA NOVA shaped well when fourth at the Curragh recently, unable to catch better-positioned rivals over 16f, and looks open to improvement at this trip. Mo Ghille Mar ran one of her better races when sixth at the Curragh, beaten only 2 lengths, and should find this suitable. Ina Mina has improved since joining new connections, winning at Tramore over 12f recently.
