No real stand out performers so it may be worth studying some of the unraced contestants more closely. Of those with form the most likely winner could be BETH HORAN who has been showing some progression with each run and was only just beaten on her latest run at Punchestown. If repeating that effort she could be the one they have to beat. Delvino is another who was only narrowly beaten last time out and with that experience under her belt she may be able to make more improvement. Hollow Moon was not so great on her latest outing but if she can go on from her pleasing introduction at Downpatrick then she should run well.
