Verdict

TUNE THE CHELLO has made a bright start over fences and looked set to produce her best effort yet when unseating at the last at Listowel (clear of remainder with winner). A 2 lb higher mark ought not prevent another bold bid and she gets the nod. This is competitive though, with She's Some Doll, Millen To One and Favori Logique just a trio of others to consider.

  1. TUNE THE CHELLO (IRE)
  2. SHES SOME DOLL (IRE)
  3. MILLEN TO ONE (IRE)
