Mick Channon has his horses in good form so the presence of Galloping Queen, who ran very green on her debut at Haydock, is noted. LOOKING LOVELY has entries in the Phoenix Stakes and the Moyglare and though she had little to beat at Leopardstown she did it nicely and Duke Of Marmalade's half-sister can go on to better things. Emerald Ring looked a certain future winner when runner-up in a Group 3 at Naas and though behind Purple Glow on her debut at Navan she can take her revenge on Jim Bolger's filly, who has had plenty of chances. Moonlit Garden made a very impressive debut over the C&D and though just behind Purple Glow in last week's Queen Mary Stakes at Ascot she had much the worse of the draw and that run is best ignored. Khelino was seven lengths behind Seehard when both made their debuts here at the beginning of the month but improved for the run and scored comfortably at Cork.
