QUEEN OF POWER has a smart pedigree and could hardly have made a more promising start to her career than when beaten a short-head by Wonderfully at Fairyhouse in June. The winner subsequently landed a Group 3 and the third scored in better class so the form stands out though it's a bit of a concern that she hasn't run since. Beatify ran her best race to date on this track while Peter Deegan had a strong hand at the five-day stage and relies on Yes I Am, who is bred for this trip. Hellenistic caught the eye on her debut a month ago but didn't appear to make the expected progress when well beaten last week.
