The close second that Queens Wild produced at Sligo on her chasing bow has been given a major boost by the winner Perfect Woman and she was clear in the lead when falling at Clonmel next time. Providing she's no worse for the experience she can get the better of the likes of Killer Crow, a winner over hurdles here who shaped with promise on his chasing bow at Punchestown last week, and Killer Miller, who had shown plenty of promise before an impressive victory over hurdles at Limerick in May. The latter looks a potentially smart chaser but none of these could match the form of SUB LIEUTENANT over hurdles and Sandra Hughes charge, a Grade 2 winner at Thurles in February before two fourth places in Grade 1's, looks the one to be on. Dual hurdles winner I Knew Well is one to keep an eye on as he makes his chasing bow.
