Verdict

AURFINODINA was quite impressive when making a successful start in nurseries at Naas and the drop in trip was against her when only fifth at the Curragh subsequently, so she gets the marginal vote over the progressive Vampire Slayer in what looks a potentially competitive race. Grey Fable is another one to consider.
