Tracey Collins is hoping it will be first-time lucky in new silks for Majestic Queen when she makes her Godolphin debut in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Brownstown Stakes at Fairyhouse on Sunday.

The talented five-year-old mare remains with Collins after Sheikh Mohammed's operation paid £825,000 for the dual Group Three winner at Goffs London Sales last month.

The County Kildare handler reports Majestic Queen in tip-top shape for the Group Three contest over seven furlongs, in which she faces six rivals.

"She's very well, she's working well and I'm very happy with her," said Collins.

"It's fantastic to have the horse with Godolphin, it's great and it's all systems go for Sunday.

"Racing here is exceptionally competitive but she's in good form."

The opposition is headed by the Ger Lyons-trained three-year-old Ainippe, who opened her account at this level in the Ballyogan Stakes at the Curragh four weeks ago.

David Wachman launches a two-pronged assault with Fastnet Mist, third in a Listed heat at the Curragh last Saturday, and Queen Nefertiti, who was eighth to stablemate Legatissimo in the Qipco 1000 Guineas at Newmarket on her most recent start.

The line-up is completed by Some Spirit, Byzantium and Slipper Orchid.
