Verdict

Fit from a spin on the Flat last month, MATER MATUTA has yet to run a bad race at this venue (runner-up over fences in June) and, re-united with Rachael Blackmore ahead of this switch back to hurdling, she's expected to make her presence felt. Redwood Queen is interesting, particularly if strong in the betting, with Betty Dutton and First Dare completing the shortlist.

  1. MATER MATUTA (IRE)
  2. REDWOOD QUEEN (IRE)
  3. BETTY DUTTON (IRE)
