Verdict

SARAH BEARA stepped up on her reappearance when fifth at Limerick last month and, with that form working out well, she's taken to end a long losing run. King In Love looks set to give another good account, while Juke Hill remains with potential now handicapping back up in trip and completes the shortlist.

  1. SARAH BEARA (IRE)
  2. KING IN LOVE (FR)
  3. JUKE HILL (IRE)
