Dinoblue (6/4), Limerick Lace (7/2), Allegorie De Vassy (4/1), Brides Hill (9/2), Shecouldbeanything (12/1), Royale Margaux (28/1), Mayhem Mya (50/1), Fontaine Collonges (66/1), Je T'ai Porte (100/1)

DINOBLUE would likely have defied her Grade 1 penalty in this last year had she not conceded first run to Limerick Lace and she's fancied to make amends having looked as good as ever this season. Allegorie de Vassy pushed her stablemate close at Naas 5 weeks ago so rates the main threat, while Brides Hill looks the pick of Gavin Cromwell's trio with last year's winner Limerick Lace arriving on the back of a couple of lacklustre efforts.
