Verdict

AURORA PRINCESS has been brought along steadily over hurdles since joining Emmet Mullins and this fairly useful winner on the level can take a big step forward on just her second handicap start now the headgear goes back on. Cottie and Royal Eagle came home 1-2 at Downpatrick last time and can fight it out for minor honours this time. Feet of A Dancer and Banntown Girl complete the shortlist in a very competitive handicap.

  1. AURORA PRINCESS (IRE)
  2. COTTIE (IRE)
  3. ROYAL EAGLE (IRE)
