It's about time Snow Queen was winning but once again comes up against some potentially decent performers. She probably came up against a very useful filly when caught close home by What Style at Leopardstown but the one who caught the eye in that contest was BURREN TRAIL. She missed the break before running on nicely and should know enough this time to reverse the form and take this. Howdoyoufindthered has run really well in a couple of 5f maiden on very testing ground and this may be more her trip and there are several choicely-bred newcomers to watch out for, in particular Scintillula, a sister to three winners, two of them placed in the 1000 Guineas.
