Forecasts

Queenstown (4/6), Neptunes Staircase (3/1), Johanna Whitty (9/2), How About No (5/1), Taymura (6/1), Struck By Churchil (40/1), Ciorcal (80/1), Golden Goose (100/1), Vodka Warlord (125/1), Spanish John (150/1), Cornmarket (150/1), Betty Grey (150/1)

Verdict

QUEENSTOWN was much better for debut when second in what has proved to be a useful maiden at Leopardstown in May and the son of Galileo sets a clear standard back from a break. Neptunes Staircase only just failed at Navan last time and is next best ahead of How About No, who offered something to work on in the same race.
