Verdict

Foreign Bay and My Forever Friend could tussle for the lead here in the early stages of this contest with Larkfield Lass, Coole Craft and Select Opportunity chasing in behind. Quite a few of these run well without winning but QUEEN KHALEESI can put the record straight here quickly turned out following a hiccup at Limerick earlier in the week.
  1. Queen Khaleesi
  2. Select Opportunity
  3. Coole Craft
