Verdict

Plenty in with a squeak but preference is for FORTUNE FOREVER. Fergal O'Brien's filly caught the eye when finishing a staying-on fourth over C&D in September and with that outing under her belt, she's fancied to get the job done with considerable progress on the cards. Walk Of No Shame heads up the dangers of those with experience, while Smurfette, Rose And Thistle and Our Nel all make plenty of paper appeal.

  1. FORTUNE FOREVER (IRE)
  2. WALK OF NO SHAME (IRE)
  3. SMURFETTE
