SUN QUEEN is no stable star and has disappointed over longer trips but she has plenty of pace in her pedigree and should have enough basic speed to take this. Balmont Mast has also been racing over longer trips but couldn't find the pace to mount a challenge when mid-division behind Rose Bonheur at Naas on Wednesday and was behind that winner earlier over this trip at Tipperary when Marvada almost produced a shock victory. Normal progress should see Ken Condon's filly provide the main threat.
