Race preview
A case can be made for most of these but marginal preference is for the hat-trick seeking BELLA BLUE EYES, who accounted for a useful field at Killarney last month. That form suggests that a mark of 88 should be workable for the three-year-old and she merits the utmost respect. The equally progressive Artemis Jones could prove to be the main threat to the selection on her handicap debut. Vadiana and Helpmeout also have strong form claims, while Kayhana and Ma Belle Artiste complete the shortlist.
