Premier Queen has been here twice and won both including a handicap in January by 30 lengths. Star Official had been in fine form on the Flat and over timber before a moderate run at Gowran while Inchiquin Maid has been performing on the Flat since a placed effort in a Cork maiden in July though that was over three miles. NATURAL BREEZE gained his only success in 24 starts over this track and trip back in April 2021 but he will not mind the conditions and has been running well enough to double his winning tally. Kalanisi Dubh found 2m5f too far at Limerick but Stellar Symphony, who had been racing over much further, is very versatile having won over three miles at Kilbeggan and finished runner-up over this trip at Limerick last month. Birdsandthebees should be up to winning soon off this sort of mark.
