Formscan By Alan Magee - QUEEN OF THE BOGS (3) won a Curragh maiden over this trip last year and should benefit from her seasonal reappearance at Fairyhouse when runner-up to Cowardofthecounty. Dial Me In wasn’t disgraced in competitive handicaps at Royal Ascot and Goodwood before shaping well in a conditions race at Roscommon, while the market should provide a guide to the chance of stablemate Golden Splendour who won a Chantilly maiden on her only start last year. Puppet Master won the Lingfield Derby Trial for Aidan O’Brien last year but hasn’t reached those heights since, while Minella Rockett is on a four-timer after a couple of narrow handicap wins.

Quotes on Queen Of The Bogs (IRE)
. I jumped smart, and she was very straight forward. I got a breather at the top of the hill, and I thought she quickened well. She rode like a nice filly. I think she has the pace to come back a furlong if she wants to.

Quotes on Minella Rockett (IRE)
He’s a tough, honest, little horse and he keeps improving. He keeps at it. I don’t know where we go now. He’s a horse that was for sale but nobody gave me enough for him, they were all laughing at me! He keeps doing it. We’ll probably step him up in trip a bit. He was on his head the whole time, the only time he was getting his own way was at the line. The New Bays are winning everything and we’re lucky to have him. I bought him over the road as a yearling. We’re looking at the race that Minella Study won in Wetherby at the end of October last year (Wensleydale Juvenile Hurdle). It’s a 40 grand Listed race and he’d have no penalty. I wouldn’t run him with a penalty as he’s handy. He’s probably a horse for any place in the world after doing that. I asked plenty for him after he won over hurdles and told lads that he would win in Galway and they looked at me. Seamie (Heffernan) was always mad about him last year. We’ve been lucky with the Flat horse, they’re all after clicking. We only ended up with them by accident, giving Seanie (Bowen) a dig out. He was going to come over today but he was suspended.
