Race preview
There was very little to recommend about QUEEN OF FAME before her run at Punchestown last time. It was hardly any great surprise to see her go off a 100/1 shot, but she exceeded expectations to finish four and three parts of a length off Glenabo Bridge in second place. If the tongue-strap and blinkers Donie Murphy's mare wore for the first time then have the desired effect again, a big performance is surely in the offing . If you're not of a mind to row in behind Queen Of Fame there's plenty of choice elsewhere. Like Queen Of Fame, Memory Of Youth is another mare going the right way, and she'll justifiably be on all shortlists.
