Verdict

QUEEN MAEDBH confirmed debut promise when making a winning debut for this yard in a maiden at Dundalk in November, beating a subsequent winner in the process, and she looks potentially useful now heading into handicaps. Evening's Empire is on a good mark on the pick of her juvenile form and she should appreciate the drop back in trip, so is another to consider along with Queenie St Clair, who went close at Naas last week.

  1. QUEEN MAEDBH (IRE)
  2. EVENING'S EMPIRE (IRE)
  3. QUEENIE ST CLAIR (IRE)
