Forecasts

She's Quality (7/4), Beatrix Power (7/2), Aurora Nova (9/2), Pro Bono Alexander (9/2), Petit Calvados (11/1), Greek Flower (12/1), Iva Batt (33/1), Scot's Grace (66/1)

Verdict

AURORA NOVA takes on sterner opposition to that faced when successful at Fairyhouse 7 days ago but the manner of that victory highlighted she's operating firmly at the top of her game, so she earns the vote to defy the handicapper and follow up. Beatrix Potter and She's Quality, down in grade, are others to consider.

  1. AURORA NOVA (IRE)
  2. BEATRIX POWER (IRE)
  3. SHE'S QUALITY (IRE)
