ITWASFATE has the best form and is selected to strike at the fourth time of asking over hurdles for the Henry de Bromhead/Rachael Blackmore combination. Vinnie Is Busy is a possible threat if reacting positively to first-time headgear, while recent bumper winner Rocco Bay should also play a prominent role if taking to hurdling.
