Coexist (11/8), Blissful Bonita (2/1), Borora Aura (9/2), Mahzuz (11/2), Ella's Gold (18/1), Sands Castle (50/1), Queen Of Astolat (66/1), Zitkala Sa (100/1), Swift Charm (300/1), Did Tell (300/1)

Verdict

BORORA AURA signed off on the Flat with a breakthrough victory at Bellewstown for Michael Mulvany and also shaped well on her hurdling debut for her new stable when third at Galway so gets the vote here. Both Blissful Bonita (second choice) and Coexist are in excellent hands and bring fair form from the Flat too so could emerge as the main dangers.

  1. BORORA AURA (IRE)
  2. BLISSFUL BONITA (IRE)
  3. COEXIST (IRE)
