In depth

Verdict

In a wide open handicap QUEENIE KEEN is open to improvement and gets the call marginally ahead of Iron Major and Sassaway. After showing some ability in maidens the pick improved on that form on handicap debut when a close up third of 14 at Dundalk. She is untested on ground this fast but should be able to build on that last run. Johnny Murtagh is an interesting jockey booking on Iron Giant, who after some solid runs is well treated on the pick of his form while Sassaway has improved in two starts this term so there's no reason why she won't again. Cinnin Oir has shown some ability but has been disappointing recently so Queenie Keen is taken to improve and score.
