Shecouldbeanything (15/8), Minx Tiara (10/3), Effernock Fizz (4/1), Royal Eagle (6/1), Gaillimh A Run (10/1), Lady Rita (14/1), Miss Fourie (22/1)

Verdict

The vote in this trappy-looking contest goes to ROYAL EAGLE, who didn't offer much when returning from a break at Punchestown recently but she should come on for that and the drying ground will aid her cause. Shecouldbeanything is 2-2 over this C&D, including winning this race 12 months ago, and she is an obvious threat, despite carrying a penalty. Gaillimh A Run needs to step up considerably but she is open to improvement, while an on-song Effernock Fizz would certainly have a chance.
