Verdict

VERA VERTO won off a higher mark last autumn and a runner-up effort at Killarney 3 weeks ago confirms she's back in excellent order. With that in mind, she makes as much appeal as any of these, with Emiyn and Aqwaam (returning from a break) a couple of potential threats.

  1. VERA VERTO (IRE)
  2. EMIYN (FR)
  3. AQWAAM
