QUEENY was a good winner over a furlong longer at this track in December, she's 6lb higher now but can hopefully get back that sort of form upped in trip and back at this venue. Leila's Island was a three-time point-to-point winner and while she hasn't set the world alight in her maiden hurdles, may do much better now in handicaps. Itsallhappening ran well at Fairyhouse and can take a hand in this if building on that run while the fifth home in the race Youcantcallherthat can also take another step in the right direction. 1. Queeny 2. Itsallhappening 3. Leila's Island
