Verdict

Willie Mullins has acquired Stellar Queen from the UK where she was a ten-race maiden on the Flat and only rated 64. Six-times Flat winner Dame Rapide showed plenty of potential in her three runs over timber though is penalised as is recent Sligo bumper winner I Am Shadow. Final Decision won a Kilbeggan bumper in April then chased home a long odds-on chance at Punchestown while GOODIE TWO SHOES arrives in top form having landed a 1m4f handicap at Gowran last month. Joseph O'Brien's filly has some hurdling experience and can put that to good use here. Cork bumper winner Young Lucy and the consistent pair Air Drop and Angelsworknovrtime are others to note.
