Verdict

GINO BELLA is on an upward curve, having won her last two starts at Cork under positive rides, and she is taken to shrug off another rise and complete the hat-trick in a race lacking confirmed front runners. Autumn Twist is a C&D winner who chased home subsequent Galway Hurdle winner Putapoundinthejar at Bellewstown when last seen in this sphere and rates the main danger if able to reproduce that form, while Fiveonefive did well to win at Galway last time and should be thereabouts.
