A different trainer's name will be on the roll of honour for the So You Think EBF Mooresbridge Stakes for the first time in six years as Aidan O'Brien is not represented in the Group Three at the Curragh.
Top-class horses like Fame And Glory, So You Think, Magician and Camelot have won it recently, along with Windsor Palace, a 66-1 shot when he beat St Nicholas Abbey in 2012.
But with no Ballydoyle runner this season just four go to post, headed by Dermot Weld's Fascinating Rock
Winner of the Ballysax and Derrinstown Derby Trial last season, he came up short in the Epsom Derby and the Irish Derby but he returned to action with a victory over a mile at Leopardstown last month.
Jim Bolger 's Parish Hall is more exposed as a six-year-old and was a good winner of the Alleged Stakes two weeks ago. He also finished a neck second in the Mooresbridge 12 months ago.
Joseph Murphy 's Euphrasia is capable of some very smart form at her best and was only beaten a length and a half by Noble Mission in the Tattersalls Gold Cup and less than five lengths by Ribbons in the Prix Jean Romanet.
However, in her two runs this season she has been some way short of her best.
Tommy Stack 's Waltzing Matilda who completes the field, looked like being a smart filly last season when finishing fifth in the Jersey Stakes on what was only her third run.
The trainer's son and assistant, Fozzy, said: "If she was third we'd be delighted. Her last couple of runs have been good and she showed decent form at Royal Ascot.
"It will be very tough for her to beat Parish Hall and Fascinating Rock, though."
