Beautiful Morning heads 20 fillies and mares left in the Denny Cordell Lavarack & Lanwades Stud Fillies Stakes at Gowran Park on Saturday.
Jessica Harrington’s five-year-old won the Group Three Royal Whip Stakes on her penultimate start, but could only finish sixth on her return to the Curragh for Sunday’s Group Two Blandford Stakes.
She could return to Group Three level this weekend, but would have to concede weight all round.
Harrington has also left in Rickrack at the confirmation stage.
Aidan O’Brien has whittled his potential team down to six, with Ballet Shoes Broadway, Curly, Dramatically, Erin and Hence all in the mix.
Joseph O’Brien also has a strong hand, with Baby Pink Damselfly, Dynabee Julienne and Ship Of Dreams giving him five chances.
The Keith Dalgleish-trained Euro Nightmare and Archie Watson’s Snowy Winter — who won a Listed race over this course and distance in August — are two possible raiders from Britain.
