Red Wasp changed stables after landing a course and distance maiden and has been dropped 5lb since her last run so isn't out of this. Curraheen Princess has now won five of her last seven and keeps defying the handicapper. She has another 6lb extra here and though looking certain to get into contention she may meet her match in DUN NA SEAD. A debut winner over this trip at the Curragh in September, she showed blistering pace when tackling 6f at Fairyhouse last month and only weakened close home so can get back on the winning trail. Little Queenie has only won at Dundalk but has been running very well on Turf and should be thereabouts again while Maggie Thunder was beaten a length by Curraheen Princess at Navan and is only 1lb better off.
