A mouth-watering renewal. Having been keen/forced to switch at a crucial stage, SELMA DE VARY did well to finish fourth behind progressive pair Maestro Conti (second) and Minella Study (third) in last month's Triumph and perhaps crucially, a tongue strap now goes on for first time since joining Willie Mullins. She can reverse the form, and in doing so, add to her yard's fine recent record with fillies in this race.
