In depth

Verdict

Kilganer Queen was well beaten in this last year but won over fences here in April and at Wexford last time. She can run from a 7lb lower mark back over timber so has to be on the shortlist. Mill Quest was having his first start for Gordon Elliott when a good fourth at Down Royal and looks certain to improve though it's HIGH NELLIE, who completed a double over fences in April and reverted to hurdles with a cracking run over this trip at Gowran, who looks the one to beat. After her Kilbeggan victory, About You just failed to cope with a 4lb rise at Roscommon and has gone up again. Carlitos Bay has been chasing though stays the trip and won't mind the ground but Tulsa Jack is held by the selection on that Gowran run.
