Fiver Friday (10/11), Theflyingbee (7/1), Cleopatra's Needle (15/2), Patty O'Farrell (8/1), Disco Dancer (10/1), Simple Things (14/1), Eastern Wind (14/1), Fedneys Park (16/1), Fortunate Lighting (40/1), Mo Ghille Mar (50/1)

Verdict

FIVER FRIDAY did the job in good style on the Flat at the Curragh recently and on that evidence, she looks capable of following up off this mark back over hurdles. The 4-y-o Simple Things appears to be gradually getting the hang of things and is second choice ahead of Theflyingbee.
