Verdict
Winning hurdler Douglas Dc failed to reel in Star Kissed over 1m4f at Bellewstown but will be better suited by this trip. Star Official has only won once but stays the trip and will be better suited by testing ground than most. Queen Of Seduction has never been the trip and has a long absence to overcome but her stable is in good form. Six-times winner ELLAAT was having his first start for Charles Byrnes when a beaten favourite here last month and better is expected so he gets the nod. Bolero is a 17-race maiden though he's been placed several times and should be winning soon from this sort of mark.
