Verdict
Lucky Queen is consistent at this level though may be a few pounds high in the weights. KAMPALA BEACH overcame trouble in-running when scoring over 1m1f at Leopardstown where he had a bit in hand. He's up 6lb but Jamie Powell can steer him to another success. Flier almost lost her maiden tag when just failing to catch Mr Mills over the course and distance in July and should gain revenge on the revised terms. Breagagh has had a run over hurdles since runner-up over a mile at Naas.
