GEORGIA CELENA showed no ill effects of a recent fall when runner-up at Downpatrick 3 weeks ago and looks sure to make another bold bid, so earns the vote in what is admittedly a highly-competitive affair. Midleton Rare kept on well to make a winning start for his new yard at Limerick recently and is open to further improvement, while Gortmore Lady promises to be suited by the step up in trip and completes the shortlist.
