Verdict

ARDERA RU made good strides forward over hurdles last term, winning twice, and she continued the good work on her second start in this sphere when runner-up behind re-opposing Likable Chancer at Tramore, keeping on having conceded first run. Open to further progress, she gets the nod to come out on top this time, with General Ryan and Baldur's Gate heading the dangers. Aforementioned Likable Chancer can also get involved.

  1. ARDERA RU (IRE)
  2. GENERAL RYAN (IRE)
  3. BALDUR'S GATE (IRE)
