FormscanBy John O'Riordan - The unbeaten AURORA VEGA should be up to the task as she faces what is unquestionably her stiffest test to date. Exceptionally well bred, by Walk In The Park out of champion racemare Quevega, the five-year-old has barely come off the bridle to win her first two starts at Sligo and Killarney respectively. Now taking on much stronger opposition in this Listed contest, she will need to take a major step forward. Stablemate Abi's Champ looks the biggest threat, having also won her last two starts in facile fashion. The daughter of Leading Light definitely has the potential to make Aurora Vega work harder here. Caman Eileen could well make it a clean sweep for trainer Willie Mullins, with the easy Tramore winner something of an unknown quantity.
