Verdict

This looks wide open and it could pay to side with BELLA COLOMBIA to build on the promise of her unlucky-in-running Leopardstown ninth and bag a fourth success of the season. The reliable Hugo's Girl heads the list of dangers on the back of a breakthrough Laytown victory, although the Joseph O'Brien-trained pair Never The Same and Mai Dahlia look to have more to offer and can also play a part.
