Verdict

PREMIER QUEEN produced a performance more in keeping with her bumper form when bolting up on her second start in handicaps at Clonmel just over 3 weeks ago, and with further improvement on the cards, she's fancied to defy a 12 lb rise in the weights. A Mere Bagatelle ran his best race when runner-up at Limerick last time so he's put forward as the main danger, with Go Boy and Gali Flight another couple to consider.

  1. PREMIER QUEEN (IRE)
  2. A MERE BAGATELLE (IRE)
  3. GO BOY (FR)
