Carla Bianca is Dermot Weld's primary hope of boosting his excellent record in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Victor McCalmont Memorial Stakes at Gowran Park.
The master of Rosewell has claimed this Listed prize four times since 2008 and his chief contender this time arrives seeking a five-timer, having graduated through the ranks last season and winding up with two Listed wins and a Group Three under her belt.
Weld also saddles Antique Platinum, but the main danger would appear to be the David Wachman-trained Legatissimo, who stayed on into fourth when fancied for the Leopardstown 1,000 Guineas Trial on her comeback.
Euphrasia ran her usual honest race in the Heritage Stakes and is always a threat in this sort of company.
Zafilani was no match for Success Days in the Ballysax but did fare better than the bitterly disappointing former Derby favourite John F Kennedy and he has his sights lowered for the Golf Societies Welcome Race, in which he faces three promising opponents in Mohaayed, Royal Navy Ship and Prologue.
Cenotaph could only manage second on his return to action last week, but there was enough to take from the performance for Aidan O'Brien to put him in the new Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot earlier in the week so he needs to win the opening Flat Breeze Up Sale At Gowran Park May 21st & 22nd 2015 Maiden (2.25pm) to justify that engagement.
Weld has given a couple of big-race entries to his well-related Sea The Stars filly Variable and she is a very interesting newcomer for Terracotta and My Twinkle to take on in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden.
Princess Aloof is on a hat-trick mission in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap, while Pushkar attempts to supplement her recent Limerick surprise in the Family Fun Day June 21st At Gowran Park Handicap.
