Bumper winner VADSA QUEEN disappointed making her hurdling debut at Sligo 4 weeks ago but she was well supported that day, so Willie Mullins' 5-y-o is worth another chance in a race that looks to contain plenty of dead wood. Missus Beeton ran a cracker at a huge price at Bellewstown 3 weeks ago and she would be a huge threat if translating that form back in maiden company, with Wisteria Bloom and Ballycallan King another couple to consider.
