Verdict

ALANYA belied unflattering odds when making a taking winning Irish debut at the Curragh a month ago and if there's a runner with the potential to be a lot better than their current mark, it's probably her. Blues Emperor also has a likeable profile and is a big threat, with Current Option perhaps the pick of the Adrian McGuinness septet.

  1. ALANYA (FR)
  2. BLUES EMPEROR (IRE)
  3. CURRENT OPTION (IRE)
