Race preview

VADSA QUEEN showed promise in bumpers last year and reappeared after a 12-month absence to score in good style at Tramore in June. She's since run on the Flat at the Galway Festival and is an interesting recruit to hurdling. The Grey Dove filled the runner-up spot behind the selection's stablemate Arctic Fly at Punchestown a couple of months ago, while Angelsworknovrtime also has placed form in maiden hurdles and wasn't disgraced here in a handicap last time. Young Lucy won a Cork bumper this spring and also has some experience over hurdles, while Tina Meehan and the well-bred I Am Shadow have also been successful in bumpers. The latter won here just under a fortnight ago.
