Preview leopardstown 14th Jul
Maybe already sits at the head of next year's 1000 Guineas market and bids to cement her Classic credentials in the Silver Flash Stakes at Leopardstown.
Aidan O'Brien's daughter of Galileo built on an impressive debut success when running away from the colts in the Chesham at Royal Ascot, and she reverts to her own sex in this Group Three contest.
Somasach, who filled the runner-up berth at this level at the Curragh, spearheads a Jim Bolger duo, while Kevin Prendergast is represented by Limerick winner La Collina and Sir Mark Prescott sends his all-weather scorer Gooseberry Fool across the Irish Sea.
Dermot Weld has won the last three renewals of the Challenge Stakes with Profound Beauty and relies this time on Sense Of Purpose, who beat all bar Irish Oaks candidate Banimpire in the Noblesse Stakes.
Jessie Harington's consistent Bob Le Beau must concede weight all round but can never be taken lightly, while Kalabaya is at the other end of the spectrum exposure-wise, and could be anything judged on her Limerick stroll.
Harrington has chosen the Stillorgan Handicap as the belated returning point for Bible Belt, with last-start winners Castle Bar Sling, Ted Dolly and Strandfield Lady all ready to exploit any flaws in her fitness.
The Bolger-trained Sunset Beauty should have no such concerns - she made a successful handicap debut at Gowran Park only last week - and will be a tough nut to crack in the 'Republic Of Loose' Race.
Bolger decided against starting his Teofilo filly Foinse off in the feature event, and she has a Ballydoyle trio to beat in the opening Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden at 5.45.
O'Brien's Eagle Canyon has been disappointing and shouldn't beat Dodging Bullets in the leopardstown.com Maiden, if their recent meeting at Fairyhouse is a reliable form guide.
