FormscanBy Michael Graham - COBRA QUEEN has given the impression that she could be better over fences than hurdles. This former point-to-point winner won two of her 10 races over flights, but is quickly going the right way over the bigger obstacles. On her second start, she was headed in the final strides at Tipperary before putting it all together to win decisively in a mares' beginners' chase at Tramore which bodes well for this assignment. Howya Luveen merits moving up in class after a six-length success in Ballinrobe this month and there should be more to come from her. Betty Dutton went off favourite for her handicap debut at Downpatrick, but was badly hampered and fell at the first. She is on a recovery mission.
