Bella Bliss (13/8), Get Me To The Park (9/4), Dinero Falso (5/1), Angelsworknovrtime (17/2), Balum (9/1), Elusive Sea (11/1), Fairy Tree (14/1), Zahina (100/1), Pettigo (125/1), Ayda (125/1), Lovely Hans (200/1)

Verdict

BELLA BLISS sets a good standard on form so is taken to open her account at the chief expense of fair bumper winner and hurdling debutante Get Me To The Park. Elusive Sea is another open to improvement and she appeals as the pick of the remainder.

  1. BELLA BLISS (IRE)
  2. GET ME TO THE PARK (IRE)
  3. ELUSIVE SEA (IRE)
