High-quality fare is on offer at Cork on Sunday, with a seven-race card highlighted by the Group Three Kerry Group Noblesse Stakes.

Profound Beauty finished second to Ice Queen 12 months ago and went on to finish a commendable fifth in the Melbourne Cup.

If her campaign is geared around a trip Down Under again, she may not be ready for this seasonal return and there's plenty in the way of opposition to capitalise on any ring-rustiness.

Her stablemate Grace O'Malley is still in the Ribblesdale, while Cheshire Oaks third Roses For The Lady spearheads a three-pronged assault from the John Oxx yard.

Latin Love forms part of a David Wachman trio, with Kevin Ryan's Les Fazzani flying the British flag.

The feature is ably supported by the Listed Kerry Spring Water Rochestown Stakes, in which the UK again has a strong interest, this time in the shape of Roi De Vitesse and Avonrose.

King Ledley, Dream Deer and Love Lockdown will try to keep the prize on home soil, with What About Me bringing smart Group Three form into the race.

Some popular old-stagers go to post for the Charleville Cheese Race, including Empirical Power, who beat the reopposing Snaefell in the 2007 renewal.

Senor Benny is another familar face with claims - a comment that also applies to Osterhase - with blinkers applied to Pencil Hill in the hope he can recapture his juvenile brilliance.

The action kicks off with the Cheestrings EBF Auction Maiden at 2.15 and Money Trader may enhance the Royal Ascot claims of his Down Royal conqueror Stand And Fight.

Coat Of Arms is the only Ballydoyle runner at the fixture and heads the weights for the Kerry Group Handicap, while Cheveyo attempts to bulid on his solid debut third at Fairyhouse in the Golden Olive Maiden.
