Verdict

Ben Pauling's DIVA LUNA created an excellent impression when going 2-2 in bumpers last winter so is fancied to go in at the first time of asking in this sphere. Fellow hurdling debutante Jasmine d'Airy also brings plenty of potential and could emerge as the main danger, although Metkayina made a promising start when runner-up here and can also have a say. Northern Air and Everest can't be discounted either in an intriguing maiden.

  1. DIVA LUNA (IRE)
