The Johnny Murtagh-trained BESTRELLA can follow up her gutsy win on the AW at Dundalk earlier this month. The daughter of Es Que Love had hinted at a bold bid in a couple of early starts last month as racing returned, before getting off the mark at the fifth time of asking under todays top apprentice Ben Coen. The Joseph O'Brien-trained Calidus Mirabilis has been alluding to a big performance in a couple of starts recently and can prove a big danger here, along with recent Killarney runner-up, Celtic Crown. Capel At Dawn, Belgoprince and Brilliant Question should not be taken lightly with leading apprentices on board.
