Bleu Berry (5/2), Minella Till Dawn (5/2), Outspoken (3/1), Riven Light (7/1), Indian Monsoon (12/1), Black Key (14/1), Miss Mardan (20/1), Zaheer (33/1)

Verdict

BLEU BERRY travelled well prior to going clear of a big field at Fairyhouse last month on his first outing in in just 10 months and represents a trainer with a 30% strike rate at this venue (33/110). The selection is taken to get the better of Minella Till Dawn who drops in trip here for last years winning trainer while Outspoken can claim third dropped in grade here.
