Royal Ascot winner Irresistible Jewel, Epsom Oaks runner-up Quarter Moon and Red Rioja are likely to clash in the Darley Irish Oaks at the Curragh on Sunday July 14, while indications are that French Oaks runner-up Dance Routine will be supplemented for the E400,000 contest.
Prize money for the Ladbrokes Rockingham Handicap, taking place on the same day, has been boosted to E100,000, making the 5f contest one of the most valuable sprint handicaps in Europe. A strong British team is likely to include Atlantic Viking, Proud Native and Kathology.
