Racing: Michael Halford's Nick's Nikita, winner of last week's Noblesse Stakes, heads 11 entries for the Group Three Curragh Cup.

The four-year-old filly had put up a handful of consistent efforts this term without getting her head in front but she produced a career best at Cork to take the Group Three prize.

Mark Johnston's Peppertree Lane and the Alan Swinbank-trained Alfie Flits, third and sixth respectively behind Ivy Creek at Pontefract on Sunday, head the possible British challenge.

Mark Prescott's Alambic is also entered along with Gerard Butler's All The Good, who holds an entry in the Northumberland Plate on the same day.
