Miss Aloud showed sings of inexperience at Kilbeggan but was staying on nicely in the closing stages and will know more here. But compatriot AUNTIE MARY probably sets a decent standard on her second at Bellewstown, though is still a little keen. Geordiebest travelled strongly for a long way at Downpatrick and dropping down in distance might help while Bridane High and Goldencard have point-to-point experience. Aurora Thunder is a half-sister to three winning jumpers and probably the pick of the newcomers.
