Salsinha (5/6), Simply Natural (4/1), Alliteration (9/2), Shesakindofmagic (7/1), Cool Native (15/2), Poetic Twist (10/1), Jo's Secret (16/1), Brosna Queen (28/1), Mollys Star (50/1), Cool As A Cat (80/1), Lady Fromentro (100/1), Baby Fish (100/1), Orinoco Walk (100/1), Strong Contender (100/1), Thurman (150/1), Ur My Fav (200/1), Clash Gold (200/1), Mind The Steps (250/1)

Verdict

SALSINHA sets a decent standard on her latest listed third and should take a bit of stopping with further progress likely. Cool Native made an encouraging start to her hurdles career at Navan in December and can give Henry de Bromhead's charge most to do ahead of Alliteration and Simply Natural.
