Verdict

A low-grade handicap in which LUCKY QUEEN, who loves the conditions, can double her winning tally. She was in very good form on testing ground in the autumn and returned to something like her best at Killarney ten days ago. Mr Mills showed his liking for soft ground at Navan but is 8lb higher while Red Trail completed a double on soft ground last autumn and his young rider has been making a name for himself. Game Nation showed a bit more dash for new connections at Navan but Bardo Contiguo appeared suited by stepping up to 1m4f at Tramore.
