Verdict
King'sandqueen's looked a certain future winner when runner-up in a mares' maiden over slightly shorter here last month and wasn't suited by 2m on soft ground at Listowel last week. Fairwood Massini attempted to make all over the minimum trip at Kilbeggan but was caught at the last. He should do better ridden with more restraint over this longer trip but Rockyaboya ran so poorly when odds-on at Tramore that he's best watched for now. Combustible Kate found the trip much too short last time and this is more like it but it's about time EARTH TREMOR was winning and his latest effort over the C&D behind Hollyville suggests this can be his day.
