Verdict
The maiden Elusive Art has run her best races over a stiff mile so should find this to her liking though like the consistent but one-paced Lady L she finished behind Days Ahead at Killarney last time and there appears no reason for a form reversal. Eion Doyle's charge was showing his first real sign of form that day and is expected to go well while Rockin N Reelin found 1m1f too his liking at Gowran before 1m3f at Killarney proved too far subsequently and is another with a chance. Walter De La Mare has also been tackling further but finding little when the going gets tough so a chance is taken on the UK raider FIRST IN THE QUEUE, who was all dressed up with nowhere to go at Windsor last time and scored from a 7lbs higher mark at Wolverhampton last year.
