Verdict

Henry De Bromhead won this in 2019 with subsequent Grade 1-winning chaser Put The Kettle On. QUEEN JANE may not hit the same heights but she gained many admirers when landing a course and distance maiden last month and looks on a fair mark for her handicap debut. Hurricane Georgie, beaten a head in a Listed chase at Fairyhouse in April, took advantage of a very much lower hurdles mark at Wexford and, though raised a massive 15lb, has Conor McGiven's claim to aid her cause. Frazel Express arrives in cracking form having won twice at Tramore in recent weeks and her 7lb rise is wiped out by her rider's claim. Strong Roots found 2m5f stretching her stamina here last time after leading for most of the way.
