Connova rates a pound behind Trishuli River on these figures but is preferred on the basis of a progressive profile and what appears to be a fitness edge in a wide-open field of twenty-four on ten furlongs of good ground at Navan. Trishuli River heads the ratings and must be respected as the principal danger, while Miss Crinshawn and Millhone are also capable of making their presence felt in a competitive renewal. Confidence is modest given the size of the field and the slender margin between several of the leading contenders, but on balance the upward trajectory gives the selection the edge. The pick is Connova.
