Bella Estrella (2/1), Groundfrost (3/1), Jon Ess (4/1), Thunder Speed (7/1), High Altitude (15/2), Ontheiflist (8/1)
Jon Ess and High Altitude could contest the lead in the early stages. Thunder Speed looks too big a price not to check, but it is hard to see past BELLA ESTRELLA, who can only come on for her win on debut at Leopardstown.
