Verdict

A 5 lb swing in the weights might be enough for MAURA'S GIFT to turn the tables on last month's C&D conqueror Sioux Princess, who should also go well again. Riyami, another last-time-out course scorer, also makes the shortlist along with Nawraq.

  1. MAURA'S GIFT (IRE)
  2. SIOUX PRINCESS
  3. RIYAMI (IRE)
