Verdict

Tommy Stack has won this twice in the past four years and his once-raced Betrothed should be noted as she made her racecourse debut in a Listed contest in October. DANCE SECRETARY was a slightly disappointing beaten favourite on her reappearance at Limerick succumbing by a short-head to Asheerah. She will need to do better in this stronger race but there is every indication that she will have come on for the run and be good enough. Sun Queen found this trip too short at Tipperary and should improve over further and a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of Tashqeel, who had some cracking juvenile form on this track and looked just in need of her reappearance at Dundalk last month.
