FormscanBy Alan Magee - Harry Derham has already landed a valuable handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse this season with Washington and may repeat the trick with QUEENS GAMBLE. She has to give plenty of weight away to all her rivals but has a class edge having won Listed races both in bumpers and over hurdles and should appreciate this step up in trip after staying on well on her reappearance at Newbury. Straight Home has progressed in three starts since joining Willie Mullins and scored at Clonmel last time while Thisistheway impressed at Down Royal but now carries an 11lb penalty. Brucio took this in decisive fashion last year but JJ Slevin now elects to ride Lily Du Berlais while others to consider include Cottesloe Sunshine, Jeaniemacaroney and Qualimita.
