In depth
Verdict
Jessica Harrington's horses were in outstanding form at Punchestown last week so in expectation that the run can continue KEPPOLS QUEEN is handed the vote. She made a very encouraging debut when just failing to catch Lord Adare at Limerick with the remainder well beaten and can go one better. Cinder Rua showed some promise in maidens before being sent over fences at Fairyhouse where she was an early faller while Hell Cat Maggie just failed to catch Good As Gold over the minimum trip at Tramore and will be suited by the extra half-mile. Molly Connors has plenty of scope and along with winning bumpers Vic Dancer and Well Tuned make this a stiffer test than usual.
