AURORA VEGA (1) could not follow up an impressive 17L maiden hurdle success at Cork during August when pulling up quickly at Wexford. Can see the best of her now returning from a break. Bred out of a championship winning mare and represents top connections. Leading contender. PASTORALE (6) has form behind a three-time G1 hurdle winner. Disappointed on seasonal comeback in a Listed Punchestown Mares Hurdle. Can be competitive down in class. MAGIC BOUM (3) is unbeaten in two career starts and was off the mark at Navan when resuming over hurdles. Interesting MONGIBELLO (4) is worth a second look.
