Verdict

EMERALD ENIGMA looked good when landing a couple of bumpers in the spring and will be tough to beat if she can translate that level of ability to hurdles. Belladaball was also fairly useful in the bumper field and can build on her Kilbeggan hurdle debut fourth and provide the main threat ahead of the selection's stablemate Easter Bonnet.

  1. EMERALD ENIGMA (IRE)
  2. BELLADABALL (IRE)
  3. EASTER BONNET (FR)
