FormscanBy Alan Magee - The conditions of this race could have been written specifically for BURLESQUE QUEEN being for horses that are rated 116 or less over hurdles. She went onto that mark after recording her third success over hurdles at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting and made a bright start over fences here last month. She kept on into third on the run-in behind Felicidad over course and distance and has obvious claims with that experience under her belt. Eagle Moon won over hurdles at Bellewstown last summer and reportedly was unsuited by the soft ground when disappointing on his debut over fences at Punchestown in September. It will be interesting to see if the market speaks in his favour. Shanavoun Lady will not lack for stamina having made all in a three-mile maiden hurdle here last month, while Desire De Joie, Masterstonemason and Bold Emperor are others to note.
