Verdict

Last year's winner LITTLE QUEENIE has been successful on her last three visits to Dundalk and back below her last winning mark, she can maintain her fine course record in first-time blinkers. Sporting Hero and Eclairage are both entitled to plenty of respect returning to the all-weather, however there's no shortage of pace in the race and that could play into the hands of the potential 3-y-o improvers Revoke and Greatest Drama, the latter very interesting on the best of his juvenile form.
