FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Well-bred AURORA VEGA suffered an outage at Wexford in October but was in better heart when winning here on New Year’s Day. A Cheltenham bar is named in honour of her mother and Aurora Vega is herself a smart type. She meets Mongibello on 5lb worse terms than on their recent meeting here but the selection’s jumping was still quite novicey then, so can continue to progress as she gains further experience. Fancy Girl was an impressive maiden winner at Cork last month and had previously shown smart bumper form. A chasing type, she has nice ability and can compete. Stablemate Baby Kate, which landed a Listed bumper last season, also steps up from maiden hurdle company.
