Verdict
Few of these arrive in any kind of form though that doesn't apply to QUEENY. Ronnie O'Leary's charge hadn't shown much before attracting support and gaining a narrow-but-comfortable victory over today's rival Returntovendor at Thurles earlier this month. She has a 7lb rise to contend with but another of her main dangers here, Supreme Steel, was held when falling in that race and may have to settle for a place after a fair second at Tramore. The veteran Notification is inconsistent and better handicapped over fences while another in the veteran stage, Honest Robber, who hadn't seen a racecourse until July, will need to do better if he's to get involved.
