Race preview
Tempest Star was touched off on her debut at Naas and must enter calculations, but TOMMY MCJOHN's second to Make Haste at the same venue is arguably stronger form and he gets the nod. Although Make Haste subsequently disappointed in the Queen Mary, there is no doubt that she is held in high regard by her connections, and it's interesting that the selection was sent off a short-priced favourite against her first time out. Ace King Queen wasn't devoid of promise at Navan and should go well here.
