A low-grade handicap in which Clonmel maiden winner Barbaha Queen is respected on a decent run back there last month.

Winning point-to-pointer O Mio Babbino ran her best race to date over this trip at Thurles earlier this month and should get competitive while Veneziano Springs is a course and distance winner on a lowly mark these days.
