Allegorie De Vassy (13/8), Impervious (15/8), Jeremys Flame (15/2), Magic Daze (9/1), Riviere D'etel (18/1), Elimay (20/1), Zambella (22/1), Dolcita (25/1), Pink Legend (33/1)

A fascinating clash between 2 young chasers who could be very smart. IMPERVIOUS really impressed when claiming the scalp of Journey With Me at Punchestown in January and is narrowly preferred to Allegorie de Vassy, who has been a very easy winner of her 2 starts over fences. Jeremys Flame looks best of the rest.
