Verdict

Bumper winner VADSA QUEEN disappointed making her hurdling debut at Sligo 4 weeks ago but she was well supported that day, so Willie Mullins' 5-y-o is worth another chance in a race that looks to contain plenty of dead wood. Missus Beeton ran a cracker at a huge price at Bellewstown 3 weeks ago and she would be a huge threat if translating that form back in maiden company, with Wisteria Bloom and Ballycallan King another couple to consider.

  1. VADSA QUEEN (IRE)
  2. MISSUS BEETON (IRE)
  3. WISTERIA BLOOM (IRE)
