An impossible looking handicap but three-year-olds have a very good record and the way MAJESTIC QUEEN won at the Curragh from tonight's rivals Liberating and Slipper Queen suggests there's much more to come and she's taken to defy a 12lb rise in the weights. Eastern Rules beat Six Of Hearts comfortably enough at the Curragh and he's another with a 12lb rise to contend with though is getting better with age. Maundy Money continues to defy his age and completed his hat-trick in very impressive fashion at Galway but the handicapper may have a grip on him now. Leigh Roche keeps the ride on Dermot Weld's Northern Rocked having scored on him at Galway with Pat Smullen on board Rock Critic, who was last seen in the Galway Hurdle.
