Verdict

A case can be made for a few of these but smooth Bellewstown scorer MATER MATUTA gets the nod given she still looks handily weighted on her chase form despite taking a 4 lb rise. Darkest Hour is also weighted to have a say, with Kilbeggan third Kalanisi Dubh firmly in the picture too.

  1. MATER MATUTA (IRE)
  2. DARKEST HOUR (IRE)
  3. KALANISI DUBH (IRE)
