Verdict

The return to this trip looks a good thing where SUN NEVER SETS is concerned after she kept on into third behind the progressive Asian Daze at the Curragh recently. The addition of cheekpieces may also help eke out a bit more and she gets the nod ahead of Guest Star, who was just touched off by Nika Pika at Navan a fortnight ago and enjoys a healthy pull at the weights with that rival here. Basilah Bear and Enthralling are others with claims in what looks a competitive nursery.
