Queen Rabab had shown a bit of potential in maidens and came in for strong support on her return from a break at Dundalk earlier this month. She didn't let supporters down with a battling performance over a mile and her 3lb rise in the weights is taken care of by Killian Hennessy's claim. FOOTSTEPSINTIME (NAP) had several of these behind when beating Eadbhard, who runs earlier, at Cork. Jonny Levins' charge was returning from a long break and didn't appear to be fancied so should improve and overcome a 7lb rise. Button Popper got closest to her at Cork though looks held while Downtown Diva has been running quite well without getting there though remains a maiden after 15 starts.
