FormscanBy Tom Weekes - ARUNTOTHEQUEEN returned from 386 days off this year and has run well in two recent winners' bumpers. She received plenty weight behind the winner at Tipperary in May but at Punchestown, again ran well, with the well-held sixth-placed Parga Diamond scoring recently. Parga Diamond finished behind Steppingstone at Ballinrobe last month - which loosely ties together both runners. Steppingstone is descended from a top Coolmore family but is now a six-year-old. Point-to-point winner Sporting Glance is out of a Grade 1-placed mare and ran well when finishing second to a 200/1 winner at the Galway festival. He clearly has ability but, as yet, that form is nothing special. Friary Road's dam won a Listed bumper at his current age.
