An extremely competitive looking Listed contest but Willie Mullins could hold the key with QUEEN DEIDRE. The four-year-old made her debut at the Galway Festival where she started odds-on and duly turned the event into a procession so she could be very useful. But she's taking on much stronger opposition here and Takeittothelimits has looked a cracking prospect in landing bumpers at Limerick and Bellewstown while Arbor Des Champs pulled too hard at Killarney last time and that should be ignored. Dixie Lee beat a decent yardstick in Bel Sas at Limerick in May but the main threat may emerge from Charlie Longsdon's Snow Leopardess, a winner at Doncaster on her debut before running with credit in a Grade Two at Aintree.
