FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Eddie and Patrick Harty have snared a couple of Curragh handicaps already this season and QUEEN'S PARDON had several of these rivals behind when winning over 6f last month. She has gone up 7lb to a perch of 68 after that success but went close off an even higher mark last season so may be able to follow up. Tawaazon has won three of his five starts since joining James MacAuley and was successful over the bare 5f here last month. He couldn't land a blow at the Curragh last weekend but that was in a much better race and his chance has to be respected in this grade. Stanhope's three victories for his current trainer have all come at Navan, including this race, off this mark, first time out last year. The nine-year-old isn't the most consistent but his track record means he has to enter calculations.%0A
