Verdict

AVIATRICE has gained all her 3 career victories here (including over C&D) and is fancied to bag a fourth now returned to this venue on the back of a good eighth in a big-field Leopardstown handicap last time. Mallavelly also has winning form here and rates the main threat, although Temperance is weighted to go well if back to her best and Bear On The Run remains with potential.
