Forecasts

Queens Brook (8/13), Shewearsitwell (15/8), Braganza (20/1), Copper Nation (22/1), My Design (33/1), Dollys Destination (40/1)

Verdict

QUEENS BROOK was right back on track when scoring readily in a listed event at Punchestown last time and she's marginally preferred to fellow last-time-out winner Shewearsitwell in a race that the pair are entitled to dominate on form. Copper Nation is probably the pick of the remainder.
