Six Perfections heads 1000 Guineas line-up

French-trained Six Perfections, an unlucky runner-up in the Sagitta 1000 Guineas, heads a list of 13 entries for Sunday's Entenmann's Irish 1000 Guineas at the Curragh. Pascal Bary's filly was unable to get a clear run at Newmarket and was a fast-finishing second to Russian Rhythm.

Aidan O'Brien's Vodafone Oaks favourite Yesterday heads the list of rivals as she looks to improve on her eighth place in the Guineas at Newmarket. O'Brien also has L'Ancresse and Pearl Moon in the mile Classic.

Kevin Prendergast is also triple-handed with Wayalef, Plume Rouge and Cat Belling, as is Jim Bolger with Bon Expresso, Danaskaya and Luminata. Dermot Weld's pair Dimitrova and Ivowon and the sole British challenger, Barry Hills' Tante Rose, complete the line-up.
