In depth
Verdict
BALLYBACKA QUEEN has been beaten by two very useful performers at the Curragh and Galway and connections will hope she doesn't bump into another. She should have few problems from those rivals with experience so it's the newcomers who may give her most to do. Craic Agus Spraoi could well be a future star as she cost 300,000 euros as a yearling and is a half-sister to Dewhurst winner Paris Hall. An entry in the Moyglare suggests she is well thought of and she should prove best of the first-timers. Johnny Murtagh has started finding some winners so Chicago Girl can improve from her run behind Australia at the Curragh.
