In a race likely to throw up plenty of future winners, VERA VERTO looks the way to go. She gave the odds-on Iberique Du Seuil a real fright on her hurdles debut at Cork and, with improvement on the cards, she should prove a tough nut to crack. Prairie Dancer also found just one too good starting out in this sphere at Punchestown and he is feared, along with Gentleman Joe and Icare Allen.
