Lightly raced on Flat and fair form when in the frame in 1½m maidens at Fairyhouse and the Curragh this summer. Tongue tie is retained for his hurdling debut and he needs considering.

Has failed to beat a rival in a pair of juvenile hurdles at Listowel and Cork this autumn. Significantly more is needed.

Well beaten in Flat maiden in March but showed much more sent hurdling 7 months on when fourth in 2m juvenile hurdles at Punchestown and Fairyhouse, again leaving the impression a stiffer test of stamina would suit.

Fair and consistent on the Flat and opened her account in 17f handicap at Thurles 16 days ago. Very much one to consider starting out in this sphere.

9/2
Fair 1m Flat scorer in September for Michael Mulvany. Made a promising start in this sphere for her new yard with third of 10 in juvenile at Galway (2m, heavy) 2 weeks ago, leading long way. Likely capable of better with hood added. Big player.

Modest maiden on the Flat. 14/1, raced freely when a well-held sixth of 13 in juvenile at Fairyhouse (2m, good to soft) on her hurdling debut 6 days ago. Could still do better.

Modest Flat maiden. Tongue tied for first time when only eleventh of 16 in handicap at Roscommon (1½m, soft) last time. More is required on her hurdling debut.

Fair Flat maiden but she came in a well-held eighth at Gowran last month. Earlier showed some ability on her hurdling debut when sixth in juvenile at Ballinrobe but failed to build on it when occupying same position at Down Royal. Hood is left off now.

Forecasts

Coexist (11/8), Blissful Bonita (2/1), Borora Aura (9/2), Mahzuz (11/2), Ella's Gold (18/1), Sands Castle (50/1), Queen Of Astolat (66/1), Zitkala Sa (100/1), Swift Charm (300/1), Did Tell (300/1)

Verdict

BORORA AURA signed off on the Flat with a breakthrough victory at Bellewstown for Michael Mulvany and also shaped well on her hurdling debut for her new stable when third at Galway so gets the vote here. Both Blissful Bonita (second choice) and Coexist are in excellent hands and bring fair form from the Flat too so could emerge as the main dangers.

  1. Borora Aura9/2
  2. Blissful Bonita2/1
  3. Coexist11/8
