Talaayeb has entries in both the Irish Oaks and the Coronation Stakes and Owen Burrows will be expecting nothing less than a victory, particularly with Champion Jockey Jim Crowley booked for the ride. Sir Micheal Stoute’s Ebbesbourne looks the biggest threat. Ryan Moore takes the reins of the steadily-progressive Teofilio-sired filly.
Leopardstown

Distance: 1,408m
Purse: 63,000 EUR
There’s huge British interest, in this G3 encounter, with Richard Fahey’s yard represented by the very-useful Don’t Touch. Firmanent, an inmate of David O’Meara, has also impressed but does make a habit of filling the runners-up spot. Both must see-off the legendary Gordon Lord Byron, who is still running competitively as a 9-year-old.
