Verdict

A tight race. There's likely more to come from CHAMPELLA so she gets the nod to make it 3-4 over hurdles for the Ross O'Sullivan team. Like the selection, An Mhi and Clonshire River are low-mileage types who could have more to come and they head the dangers.

  1. CHAMPELLA (IRE)
  2. AN MHI (IRE)
  3. CLONSHIRE RIVER (IRE)
