This looks wide open and with that in mind a chance is taken on ARDFERT MARY. Given a break following a lesser effort at Clonmel in January, the return to a quicker surface looks in her favour and the pick of her efforts suggest she can make an impact from this sort of mark. Restless Son, Klassman and It's Time Again are others to consider. Winter Carnival completes the shortlist.
