COOL NATIVE hasn't yet built on the promise of her hurdling debut effort, but this winning pointer could yet do better as she goes up in trip so she gets the vote. Amina is open to improvement with her first run over hurdles behind her and is the pick for second, while Labondance is interesting starting off for Emmet Mullins.
