Verdict
Willie Mullins has two strong chances and VADSA QUEEN (NAP) sets the standard on the back of a very promising debut at the Punchestown Festival when only beaten by a stable companion. She looks sure to improve for the run, is the choice of Patrick Mullins and also receives the 7lb sex allowance. Stablemate Rocco Ray ran a solid race on his debut on the same day in another bumper and he too should come on for that initial outing. The market should help to sort out expectations surrounding the newcomers with Finnthemagician and Importateur making most appeal at this stage for the Elliott and Hyde teams respectively.
