Verdict
QUEENS BOULEVARD only just got up on her debut at Sligo but showed the benefit of the experience when making all for a very convincing victory in a much better race at Listowel. She'll have made further progress and Patrick has chosen her over Yukon Lil, who he rode to an easy victory at Killarney in May. Scaglietti, yet another from the champion trainer's yard, was impressive at Listowel and the form has worked out so she's an obvious danger to her stable companion. Carrie Des Champs is on a four-timer after very easy victories at Sligo and Perth while Kilbarry Way couldn't quite hold off Bobsfirth at Killarney after an earlier victory there.
